‘Science Fun Days’: Opportunities for Connecting Primary School Pupils With Nature and Microbiology

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.
This article details ‘Science Fun Day’ outreach events which we organised for primary school pupils in Essex, UK. We demonstrate that pupils ended the event with increased enjoyment of learning about science, increased desire to have a career in science and a greater understanding of the importance of microbes.

Enzymatic regulation of photosynthetic and light-independent carbon fixation in Laminaria setchellii (Phaeophyta), Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) and Iridaea cordata (Rhodophyta) Regulación enzimática de la fotosíntesis y la fijación de carbono en obscuridad por Laminaria setchellii (Phaeophyta), Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) e Iridaea cordata (Rhodophyta)

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2001
Carbon is acquired through photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic processes in marine algae. However, little is known about the biochemical regulation of these metabolic pathways along the thallus of seaweeds. Consequently, the objective of this study was

An experimental assessment of algal calcification as a potential source of atmospheric CO2.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Marine vegetated ecosystems such as seagrass meadows are increasingly acknowledged as important carbon sinks based on their ability to capture and store atmospheric carbon dioxide, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation. Most studies on carbon

Ultrasensitive Sequencing (SiMSen‐Seq) for Environmental DNA Applications

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Next‐Generation Sequencing (NGS) has transformed environmental DNA (eDNA) research, but conventional methods struggle to detect low‐frequency variants, leading to potential inaccuracies. Inspired by clinical research, we adapted the SiMSen‐Seq protocol for 18S rRNA metabarcoding in seawater, enhancing rare non‐indigenous species (NIS) detection ...
