Phages are considered the most abundant and diverse biological entities on Earth and are
notable not only for their sheer abundance, but also for their influence on bacterial hosts. In …

Upwelling plays an important role in marine ecosystems and potentially reshapes microbial
communities by enhanced dispersal and distinct environmental drivers. Relative to that of …

How microbial populations interact influences the availability and flux of organic carbon in
the ocean. Understanding how these interactions vary over broad spatial scales is therefore …

Upwelling is one of the most important processes in the marine ecosystem and plays an
important role in nutrient transport. However, the bacterial community structure and function …

Objective: Microhabitats in the oral cavity differ in microbial taxonomy. However, abundance
variations of bacterial and viral communities within these microhabitats are not fully …

Abstract The shallow Caroline Seamount is located in the tropical western Pacific Ocean. Its
summit is 57 m below the surface and penetrates the euphotic zone. Therefore, it is ideal for …

The ocean circulation in the Great Australian Bight (GAB) is dominated by the surface-
intensified Leeuwin Current (LC) over the outer continental shelf, and the Flinders Current …

Microbial interactions are important for ecosystem function, but occur at the microscale and
so are difficult to observe. Previous studies in marine systems have shown significant shifts …

We estimated the bacterial production and losses to predators along an open ocean trophic
gradient from coastal upwelling waters to oligotrophic waters in the Subtropical Northern …

To understand the variations of picoplankton (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus,
picoeukaryotes, and heterotrophic bacteria) abundances during diatom bloom, the …
