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

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) lipids are membrane lipids which were long
thought to be synthesized mainly by archaea, organisms thought to be limited to extreme …

The Mediterranean Sea is a marine biodiversity hot spot. Here we combined an extensive
literature analysis with expert opinions to update publicly available estimates of major taxa …

Plastic particles in the ocean are typically covered with microbial biofilms, but it remains
unclear whether distinct microbial communities colonize different polymer types. In this …

Ecosystems are shaped by complex communities of mostly unculturable microbes.
Metagenomes provide a fragmented view of such communities, but the ecosystem functions …

Abstract Marine Group II (MGII) archaea represent the most abundant planktonic archaeal
group in ocean surface waters, but our understanding of the group has been limited by a …

Inhibition by light potentially influences the distribution of ammonia oxidizers in aquatic
environments and is one explanation for nitrite maxima near the base of the euphotic zone …

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota are among the most abundant
marine microorganisms. These organisms thrive in the oceans despite ammonium being …

Marine Archaea are important players among microbial plankton and significantly contribute
to biogeochemical cycles, but details regarding their community structure and long-term …

Marine microbial communities rely on dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) remineralisation
to meet phosphorus (P) requirements. We extensively surveyed the genomic and …
