Flow cytometric phytoplankton concentration and optical properties across instruments and laboratories

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Flow cytometry measures the optical properties of individual cells and has become essential for enumerating and characterizing marine phytoplankton. Yet systematic comparison of measurements across instruments remains limited, hampering data comparison across laboratories and long‐term time series.

Drivers of stability in plankton communities: dominance, asynchrony, and averaging effects across temporal, spatial and trophic scales

Oikos, EarlyView.
The origins of ecosystem stability have long intrigued ecologists. Recent theoretical advancements highlight three primary mechanisms driving stability: dominance, asynchrony and averaging. While plant community stability has been extensively studied, our understanding of marine community stability remains limited. Plankton, as key components of marine

Clade-Specific Quantitative Analysis of Photosynthetic Gene Expression in Prochlorococcus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Newly designed primers targeting rbcL (CO2 fixation), psbA (photosystem II) and rnpB (reference) genes were used in qRT-PCR assays to assess the photosynthetic capability of natural communities of Prochlorococcus, the most abundant photosynthetic ...

Acclimation and stress response of Prochlorococcus to low salinity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Prochlorococcus is an obligate marine microorganism and the dominant autotroph in tropical and subtropical open ocean. However, the salinity range for growing and response to low salinity exposure of Prochlorococcus are still unknown.

The downward legacy of a phytoplankton bloom in the oligotrophic North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Ocean particles are a heterogeneous collection, including living and dead cells, feces, mucus‐rich aggregates, and mineral shells and frustules. In the well‐lit upper ocean, phototrophic processes fuel production of particulate matter; however, only a relatively small percentage (< 10% per day) of this material (mostly detrital) escapes the ...

Coexistence of Dominant Marine Phytoplankton Sustained by Nutrient Specialization

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the two dominant picocyanobacteria in the low-nutrient surface waters of the subtropical ocean, but the basis for their coexistence has not been quantitatively demonstrated.

Bacterial Contribution to Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition in Lake Erie Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Bloom Communities Is Dependent on Bloom Stage

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
A seasonal time series metatranscriptome dataset suggests that neutralising hydrogen peroxide in Microcystis blooms requires a complex division of labour that is further complicated by seasonality and bloom development. ABSTRACT Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are expanding globally and often involve toxin‐producing species such as ...

Phytoplankton Size Structure Controls the Bio‐Optical Anomaly of Antarctic Waters

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean strongly influence global biogeochemical cycles, but the region's remoteness limits in situ monitoring. Satellite ocean color enables synoptic monitoring of phytoplankton dynamics by retrieving chlorophyll‐a concentration (Chl‐a).

Nucleases and Their Inhibitors: Exploring Biological Roles, Industrial Applications, and Challenges in Heterologous Expression

Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 9, September 2026.
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Intracellular nucleases, depicted as blue circles in a nucleosome, hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds, repair damaged DNA using DNA base excision repair (BER), mismatch repair (MMR), and homologous recombination (HR), and are involved in DNA replication.
