Bacteria and other microorganisms have evolved an ingenious form of life, where they
cooperate and improve their chances of survival when subjected to environmental stress …

Episodes of massive mucilage formation in the northern Adriatic Sea have been recorded for
over a century but their cause is still a matter of conjecture and debate. It is generally thought …

In order to extend previous comparisons between coastal marine bacterioplankton
communities and their open ocean and freshwater counterparts, here we summarize and …

O ne of the basic tenets of eco-logical science is that net primary productivity is defined as

Whenever actively photosynthesizing cells are exposed to conditions where carbon fluxes
exceed intakes of other essential-nutrients required for formation of new biomass, cell …

Although detailed temporal studies of marine planktonic cyanobacteria have been reported,
relatively little is known about variation of other marine picoplankton groups on time scales …

This overview compares and contrasts trends in the magnitude of the downward Particulate
Organic Carbon (POC) flux with observations on the vertical profiles of biogeochemical …

In the marine environment, phytoplankton and bacterioplankton can be physically
associated. Such association has recently been hypothesized to be involved in the toxicity of …

Three phosphate-regulated proteins in the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi were detected
by the biotinylation of cell-surface proteins. Two of these phosphate-regulated proteins have …
