Cyanobacteria are globally widespread photosynthetic prokaryotes and are major
contributors to global biogeochemical cycles. One of the most critical processes determining …

Cyanobacterial blooms present substantial challenges to managers and threaten ecological
and public health. Although the majority of cyanobacterial bloom research and management …

Diatom diazotroph associations (DDAs) are a widespread marine planktonic symbiosis
between several diatom genera and di-nitrogen (N2)-fixing bacteria. Combining single cell …

We performed nitrogen (N) budgets in the photic layer of three contrasting stations
representing different trophic conditions in the western tropical South Pacific (WTSP) Ocean …

In oligotrophic gyres of the tropical ocean, islands can enhance phytoplankton biomass and
create hotspots of productivity and biodiversity. This “island mass effect”(IME) is typically …

Diatoms are important phytoplankton and contribute greatly to the primary productivity of
marine ecosystems. Despite the ecological significance of diatoms and the importance of …

Metacaspases are cysteine specific proteases implicated in cell‐signalling, stress
acclimation and programmed cell death (PCD) pathways in plants, fungi, protozoa, bacteria …

The viability of algal cells is one of the most fundamental issues in marine ecological
research. In this work, a method was designed to identify algal cell viability based on digital …

Phytoplankton's death contributes to marine settleable particulate organic matter (POM). In
this study, we used laboratory cultivation of different algal species to identify a positive …

The presence of diatoms is accompanied by the production of a large amount of
extracellular polymeric substances, which are mainly composed of carbohydrates …
