One-quarter of photosynthesis-derived carbon on Earth rapidly cycles through a set of short-
lived seawater metabolites that are generated from the activities of marine phytoplankton …

Microbes of the surface ocean release, consume, and exchange labile metabolites at time
scales of minutes to days. The details of this important step in the global carbon cycle remain …

The capacity of planktonic marine microorganisms to actively seek out and exploit
microscale chemical hotspots has been widely theorized to affect ocean-basin scale …

Microbial interactions in aquatic environments profoundly affect global biogeochemical
cycles, but the role of microparasites has been largely overlooked. Using a model …

The cycling of major nutrients in the ocean is affected by large-scale phytoplankton blooms,
which are hot spots of microbial life. Diverse microbial interactions regulate bloom dynamics …

Marine microorganisms play crucial roles in Earth's element cycles through the production
and consumption of organic matter. One of the elements whose fate is governed by …

Microorganisms play important roles in the biogeochemical cycling of sulphur (S), an
essential element in the Earth's biosphere. Shotgun metagenome sequencing has opened a …

Siderophores are strong iron‐binding molecules produced and utilized by microbes to
acquire the limiting nutrient iron (Fe) from their surroundings. Despite their importance as a …

The sulfosugar sulfoquinovose (SQ) is produced by photosynthetic plants, algae, and
cyanobacteria on a scale of 10 billion tons per annum. Its degradation, which is essential to …

Introduction Soil salinization is a serious abiotic stress for grapevines. The rhizosphere
microbiota of plants can help counter the negative effects caused by salt stress, but the …
