Emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from marine sediments are controlled by
anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled primarily to sulphate reduction (AOM). Sulphate …

Many diatoms that inhabit low-nutrient waters of the open ocean live in close association
with cyanobacteria. Some of these associations are believed to be mutualistic, where N2 …

Biological dinitrogen fixation provides the largest input of nitrogen to the oceans, therefore

The last several decades have witnessed dramatic advances in unfolding the diversity and
commonality of oceanic diazotrophs and their N2-fixing potential. More recently, substantial …

The recent invasion and proliferation of toxic cyanobacteria in diverse aquatic habitats is a
well-known worldwide phenomenon. The expansion of cyanobacterial blooms have the …

Investigating the contribution of microbial populations to biochemical processes of global
significance is challenging as there are few approaches that can detect microbial metabolic …

We describe an open‐source freeware programme for high throughput analysis of
