The oxic realms of freshwater and marine environments are zones of high prokaryotic
mortality. Lysis by viruses and predation by ciliated and flagellated protists result in the …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the primary nutrients required to build biomass and is therefore in high
demand in aquatic ecosystems. Estuaries, however, are frequently inundated with high …

We used radiocarbon (Δ14C) and stable isotopic (Δ13C, Δ15N) signatures of bacterial
nucleic acids to estimate the sources and ages of organic matter (OM) assimilated by …

Biofloc technology (BFT) application offers benefits in improving aquaculture production that
could contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals. This technology …

The discovery of ammonia oxidation by mesophilic and thermophilic Crenarchaeota and the
widespread distribution of these organisms in marine and terrestrial environments indicated …

Urban rivers represent a unique ecosystem in which pollution occurs regularly, leading to
significantly altered of chemical and biological characteristics of the surface water and …

Few of us may ever live on the sea or under it, but all of us are making increasing use of it
either as a source of food and other materials, or as a dump. As our demands upon the …

Sparse microbial populations persist from seafloor to basement in the slowly accumulating
oxic sediment of the oligotrophic South Pacific Gyre (SPG). The physiological status of these …

The algal osmolyte dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is recognised as the major
precursor of marine dimethylsulfide (DMS), a volatile sulfur compound that affects …

Bacterial Biogeochemistry, Third Edition focuses on bacterial metabolism and its relevance
to the environment, including the decomposition of soil, food chains, nitrogen fixation …
