Recent advances in studying the dynamics of marine microbial communities have shown
that the composition of these communities follows predictable patterns and involves complex …

We present an overview of the plankton studies conducted during the last 25 years in the
epipelagic offshore waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This quasi-enclosed sea is …

Total bacterial abundances estimated with different epifluorescence microscopy methods
(4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole [DAPI], SYBR Green, and Live/Dead) and with flow …

This paper presents a new data infrastructure for measuring economic activity. The
infrastructure records transactions and account balances, yielding measurements with …

Oscillating diurnal rhythms of gene transcription, metabolic activity, and behavior are found
in all three domains of life. However, diel cycles in naturally occurring heterotrophic bacteria …

Incubation (in vitro) and incubation-free (in situ) methods, each with their own advantages
and limitations, have been used to derive estimates of net community metabolism in the …

To study the effect of substrate addition on short term bacterial population dynamics and
species composition in seawater, mesocosms were maintained with water collected off …

Diel and seasonal variations in abundance, activity, and structure of particle-attached vs free-
living bacterial communities were investigated in offshore NW Mediterranean Sea (0–1000 …

To determine the effects of Saharan dust on the abundance, biomass, community structure,
and metabolic activity of oceanic microbial plankton, we conducted eight bioassay …

Marine heterotrophic bacteria are ubiquitous and abundant, occurring from the sea surface
microlayer to the deepest ocean depths, at densities measured in millions of cells per …
