Human-induced climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of
vegetation fires. The Mediterranean region is considered particularly prone to fire episodes …

Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic (AAP) bacteria harvest light energy using
bacteriochlorophyll-containing reaction centers to supplement their mostly heterotrophic …

Southern Adriatic (Eastern Mediterranean Sea) is a region strongly dominated by large-
scale oceanographic processes and local open-ocean dense water formation. In this study …

Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs (AAPs) are a group of photoheterotrophic bacteria common
in natural waters. Here, AAP abundance and contribution to total bacterial abundance and …

Abstract Although Aerobic Anoxygenic Phototrophs (AAPs) are widespread in aquatic
environments, relatively little is known about their dynamics in the Adriatic Sea. Therefore …

Background Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs are metabolically highly active, diverse and
widespread polyphyletic members of bacterioplankton whose photoheterotrophic …

Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs are a newly discovered member of the bacterial community
in the Adriatic Sea. During the last seven years, when we started to study these organisms …

Microbial plankton is essential for ocean biogeochemistry. As part of the prokaryotic
phototrophic microbial community, both oxygenic phototrophs (OP) and anoxygenic …

Laboratory of Microbiology at the Institute of Oceanography in Split, founded in 1947, covers
numerous research in the field of marine microbial ecology. Marine microorganisms …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient and is often a limiting factor for primary production and
carbon uptake. Classically, cyanobacterial diazotrophs were thought to be the major N2 …
