The finding that total viral abundance is higher than total prokaryotic abundance and that a
significant fraction of the prokaryotic community is infected with phages in aquatic systems …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread in various ecosystems and are
pollutants of great concern due to their potential toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity …

Interest in the biodegradation mechanisms and environmental fate of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) is motivated by their ubiquitous distribution, their low bioavailability …

Bacterioplankton (bacteria and archaea) are indispensable regulators of global element
cycles owing to their unique ability to decompose and remineralize dissolved organic matter …

We examined bacterial dynamics in batch cultures of two axenic marine diatoms
(Thalassiosira rotula and Skeletonema costatum). The axenic diatoms were inoculated with …

The oceans cover the majority of the Earth's surface; they influence our climate and provide
a valuable source of food to billions of people. Yet despite its fundamental impact on our …

Factors influencing patterns in the distribution and abundance of plant and animal taxa
modulate ecosystem function and ecosystem response to environmental change, which is …

Marine macroalgae are constantly exposed to epibacterial colonizers. The epiphytic
bacterial patterns and their temporal and spatial variability on host algae are poorly …

The results of empirical studies have revealed links between phytoplankton and
bacterioplankton, such as the frequent correlation between chlorophyll a and bulk bacterial …

Variation in traits causes bacterial populations to respond in contrasting ways to
environmental drivers. Learning about this will help us understand the ecology of individual …
