One-quarter of photosynthesis-derived carbon on Earth rapidly cycles through a set of short-
lived seawater metabolites that are generated from the activities of marine phytoplankton …

Micropatterned materials have developed in nature over 3.8 billion years, with remarkable
performance. Nature inspiration is the process of understanding biological mechanisms and …

By controlling nutrient cycling and biomass production at the base of the food web,
interactions between phytoplankton and bacteria represent a fundamental ecological …

The capacity of planktonic marine microorganisms to actively seek out and exploit
microscale chemical hotspots has been widely theorized to affect ocean-basin scale …

From the homeostasis of human health to the cycling of Earth's elements, microbial activities
underlie environmental, medical and industrial processes. These activities occur in chemical …

Phytoplankton communities within the photic zones of the oceans and lakes are
characterised by highly complex assemblages of unicellular microalgae and associated …

Within the wealth of molecules constituting marine dissolved organic matter, carbohydrates
make up the largest coherent and quantifiable fraction. Their main sources are from primary …

Microalga–microbiome interactions are central to both health and disease of aquatic
environments. Despite impressive advances in deciphering how microorganisms participate …

Unicellular eukaryotic phytoplankton, such as diatoms, rely on microbial communities for
survival despite lacking specialized compartments to house microbiomes (eg, animal gut) …

Microbial interactions in aquatic environments profoundly affect global biogeochemical
cycles, but the role of microparasites has been largely overlooked. Using a model …
