Benthic microbial mats dominated by Cyanobacteria are important features of polar lakes.
Although culture-independent studies have provided important insights into the diversity of …

The wide application of benzophenones (BPs), such as benzophenone-3 (BP3), as an
ingredient in sunscreens, cosmetics, coatings, and plastics, has led to their global …

Cyanobacteria in polar environments face environmental challenges, including cold
temperatures and extreme light seasonality with small diurnal variation, which has …

We introduce branchwater, a flexible and fast petabase-scale search for the 767,000 public
metagenomes presently in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive. Our search is based on the …

The preservation of nucleic acids for high-throughput sequencing is an ongoing challenge
for field scientists. In particular, samples that are low biomass, or that have to be collected …

Optical characteristics of water in stratified lakes can be used to study the pigment
composition of various groups of photosynthetic organisms, its depth distribution and …

During long periods with no precipitation, a sulfidic spring (Smrdljivec) appears in the dry
bed of the Reka River before sinking into the karst underground. The study characterizes the …
