Marine picocyanobacteria of the Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus genera have been
longtime considered as autotrophic organisms. However, compelling evidence published …

Evidence is accumulating to challenge the paradigm that biogenic methanogenesis,
considered a strictly anaerobic process, is exclusive to archaea. We demonstrate that …

Recent studies show that all evaluated Cyanobacteria, diatoms and haptophytes, major
constituents of freshwater and marine phytoplankton, emit methane during photosynthesis …

Methylphosphonate is an organic phosphorus compound used by microorganisms when
phosphate, a key nutrient limiting growth in most marine surface waters, becomes …

Phosphonates are organophosphorus metabolites with a characteristic CP bond. They are
ubiquitous in the marine environment, their degradation broadly supports ecosystem …

Background Phosphonates are the main components in the global phosphorus redox cycle.
Little is known about phosphonate metabolism in freshwater ecosystems, although rapid …

The planktonic synthesis of reduced organophosphorus molecules, such as
alkylphosphonates and aminophosphonates, represents one half of a vast global oceanic …

Aquatic ecosystems play an important role in global methane cycling and many field studies
have reported methane supersaturation in the oxic surface mixed layer (SML) of the ocean …

Methane (CH 4) supersaturation in oxygenated waters is a widespread phenomenon
despite the traditional perception of strict anoxic methanogenesis. This notion has recently …

Anthropogenic organophosphorus compounds (AOPCs), such as phosphotriesters, are
used extensively as plasticizers, flame retardants, nerve agents, and pesticides. To date …
