Cyanobacteria can form dense and sometimes toxic blooms in freshwater and marine
environments, which threaten ecosystem functioning and degrade water quality for …

The prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms that drive the pelagic ocean's
biogeochemical cycles are currently facing an unprecedented set of comprehensive …

Microbial activity is a fundamental component of oceanic nutrient cycles. Photosynthetic
microbes, collectively termed phytoplankton, are responsible for the vast majority of primary …

Cyanobacteria are the most ancient phytoplankton on the planet and form harmful algal
blooms in freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems. Recent research suggests that …

Rising ocean temperatures will alter the productivity and composition of marine
phytoplankton communities, thereby affecting global biogeochemical cycles. Predicting the …

The oceans take up over 1 million tons of anthropogenic CO2 per hour, increasing dissolved
p CO2 and decreasing seawater pH in a process called ocean acidification (OA). At the …

Biological N2 fixation is an important part of the marine nitrogen cycle as it provides a source
of new nitrogen that can support biological carbon export and sequestration. Research in …

Discrepancies between estimates of oceanic N 2 fixation and nitrogen (N) losses through
denitrification have focused research on identifying N 2-fixing cyanobacteria and quantifying …

“It takes a village to finish (marine) science these days” Paraphrased from Curtis
Huttenhower (the Human Microbiome project) The rapidity and complexity of climate change …

The two commonly applied methods to assess dinitrogen (N2) fixation rates are the 15N2-
tracer addition and the acetylene reduction assay (ARA). Discrepancies between the two …
