Interactions between microorganisms and algae during bloom events significantly impacts
their physiology, alters ambient chemistry, and shapes ecosystem diversity. The potential …

Soil microorganisms are key regulators of the biogeochemical phosphorus (P) cycle.
Microbial P limitation in highly weathered tropical soils has been reported, but whether it …

Prokaryotic heterotrophs (hereafter, bacteria) represent a large proportion of global biomass,
and therefore bacterial biomass stoichiometry likely exerts control on global phosphorus (P) …

Aerobic degradation of methylphosphonate (MPn) by marine bacterioplankton has been
hypothesized to contribute significantly to the ocean's methane supersaturation, yet little is …

Phosphorus is a vital nutrient for living organisms and is obtained by bacteria primarily via
phosphate uptake. However, phosphate is often scarcely accessible in nature, and there is …

The surface mixed layer (ML) in the Mediterranean Sea is a well-stratified domain
characterized by low macronutrients and low chlorophyll content for almost 6 months of the …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the contribution of evolutionary history to variation
in the biomass stoichiometry and underlying biochemical allocation patterns of heterotrophic …

As sea level rises, previously sequestered blue carbon can be exported offshore as
particulate or dissolved organic matter where it may be re-mineralized or sequestered. The …

Although aquatic bacteria are assumed to be nutrient-rich, they out-compete other foodweb
osmotrophs for nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) an apparent contradiction to resource ratio …

The episodic hyperproduction of mucilage macroaggregates in the northern Adriatic Sea
creates an important site for the accumulation, transformation, and degradation of organic …
