The partitioning of organic matter (OM) between dissolved and particulate phases is an
important factor in determining the fate of organic carbon in the ocean. Dissolved organic …

Chytridiomycota, often referred to as chytrids, can be virulent parasites with the potential to
inflict mass mortalities on hosts, causing eg changes in phytoplankton size distributions and …

Phytoplankton are key components of the oceanic carbon and sulfur cycles. During bloom
events, some species can emit large amounts of the organosulfur volatile dimethyl sulfide …

Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a ubiquitous phytoplankton metabolite and the main
precursor of the climate-active gas dimethylsulfide (DMS) in the oceans' surface. Here we …

Ageing or senescence is an intricate and highly synchronized developmental phase in the
life of plant parts including leaf. Senescence not only means death of a plant part, but during …

We developed a rapid and highly sensitive analytical method for chlorophylls and
carotenoids derived from marine phytoplankton using ultra-high performance liquid …

Eddies are mesoscale oceanographic features (∼ 200 km diameter) that can cause
transient blooms of phytoplankton by shifting density isoclines in relation to light and nutrient …

Despite the importance of dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) in the global sulphur cycle
and climate regulation, the biological pathways underpinning its synthesis in marine …

The model coccolithophore, Emiliania huxleyi, forms expansive blooms dominated by the
calcifying cell type, which produce calcite scales called coccoliths. Blooms last several …

The isotopic fractionation of hydrogen during the biosynthesis of alkenones produced by
marine haptophyte algae has been shown to depend on salinity and, as such, the hydrogen …
