Marine zooplankton comprise a phylogenetically and functionally diverse assemblage of
protistan and metazoan consumers that occupy multiple trophic levels in pelagic food webs …

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 …

Unicellular eukaryotic phytoplankton, such as diatoms, rely on microbial communities for
survival despite lacking specialized compartments to house microbiomes (eg, animal gut) …

The marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is an important player in the functioning of
marine ecosystems. DOC is at the interface between the chemical and the biological worlds …

To thrive in nutrient-poor waters, coral reefs must retain and recycle materials efficiently. This
review centers microbial processes in facilitating the persistence and stability of coral reefs …

Abstract The Weddell Gyre (WG) is one of the main oceanographic features of the Southern
Ocean south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current which plays an influential role in global …

Algae synthesise structurally complex glycans to build a protective barrier, the extracellular
matrix. One function of matrix glycans is to slow down microorganisms that try to …

Global ship-based programs, with highly accurate, full water column physical and
biogeochemical observations repeated decadally since the 1970s, provide a crucial …

Most oceanic dissolved organic matter (DOM) is still not fully molecularly characterized. We
combined high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ultrahigh-resolution mass …

Sponges are the oldest known extant animal-microbe symbiosis. These ubiquitous benthic
animals play an important role in marine ecosystems in the cycling of dissolved organic …
