Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

The recognition of a new family of rhodopsins in marine planktonic bacteria, proton-pumping
proteorhodopsin, expanded the known phylogenetic range, environmental distribution, and …

Microbial rhodopsin, a significant contributor to sustaining life through light harvesting, holds
untapped potential for carbon fixation. Here, we construct an artificial photosynthesis system …

Viruses play an important role in the marine ecosystem. However, our comprehension of
viruses inhabiting the dark ocean, and in particular, under the Antarctic Ice Shelves, remains …

BACKGROUND Oceanographers began studying the ocean microbiome in earnest over
four decades ago, when it was recognized that microbes are responsible for nearly all of the …

Pelagic microbes have adopted distinct strategies to inhabit the pelagial of lakes and
oceans and can be broadly categorized in two groups: free‐living, specialized oligotrophs …

The ocean–atmosphere exchange of CO2 largely depends on the balance between marine
microbial photosynthesis and respiration. Despite vast taxonomic and metabolic diversity …

Planktonic microbial communities in the ocean are typically dominated by several
cosmopolitan clades of Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya characterized by their ribosomal …

The oceanic waters below a depth of 200 m represent, in terms of volume, the largest habitat
of the biosphere, harboring approximately 70% of the prokaryotic biomass in the oceanic …

It is of great significance to understand CO2 fixation in the oceans. Using single cell Raman
spectra (SCRS) as biochemical profiles, Raman activated cell ejection (RACE) was able to …
