Barriers Impeding Active Mixing of Swimming Microbes in a Hyperbolic Flow

Frontiers in Physics, 2022
We present experiments on the motion of swimming microbes in a laminar, hyperbolic flow. We test a theory that predicts the existence of swimming invariant manifolds (SwIMs) that act as invisible, one-way barriers that block the motion of the microbes ...

Drivers of metabolic density‐dependence: how resource availability and conspecific cues affect phytoplankton metabolism

Oikos, EarlyView.
Metabolism is density‐dependent from unicellular to multicellular organisms. Understanding what drives metabolic suppression is important to explain population growth given the link between metabolism and biomass production. In the simplest scenario, metabolic suppression is caused by a reduction in resource availability with increasing population ...

Identification and Characterization of a Novel Microalgal Strain from the Antofagasta Coast Tetraselmis marina AC16-MESO (Chlorophyta) for Biotechnological Applications

Plants, 2023
The wide rocky coastline of the Antofagasta hosts an intertidal ecosystem in which the species that inhabit it are routinely exposed to a wide range of physical and chemical conditions and have therefore evolved to tolerate extremes.

Detoxification of 2,4-dichlorophenol by the marine microalga Tetraselmis marina

Phytochemistry, 2008
Xenobiotic chlorinated phenols have been found in fresh and marine waters and are toxic to many aquatic organisms. Metabolism of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in the marine microalga Tetraselmis marina was studied. The microalga removed more than 1mM of 2,4-DCP in a 2l photobioreactor over a 6 day period.

Innovative Field Applications of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Medicinal Plant Products for Disease Control in Aquaculture

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disease outbreaks and the associated reliance on antibiotics pose major constraints to the sustainability of modern aquaculture. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer demand shifts toward residue‐free production, diverse biological interventions are gaining prominence as viable alternatives to chemotherapeutics.
