A device for assessing microbial activity under ambient hydrostatic pressure: The in situ microbial incubator (ISMI)
Microbes in the dark ocean are exposed to hydrostatic pressure increasing with depth. Activity rate measurements and biomass production of dark ocean microbes are, however, almost …
Limited carbon cycling due to high-pressure effects on the deep-sea microbiome
Deep-sea microbial communities are exposed to high-pressure conditions, which has a variable impact on prokaryotes depending on whether they are piezophilic (that is, …
Impact of hydrostatic pressure on organic carbon cycling of the deep-sea microbiome
Deep-sea microbial communities are exposed to high hydrostatic pressure. While some of these deep-sea prokaryotes are adapted to high-pressure conditions, the contribution of …
Dynamics of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial community during a cyanobacterial bloom
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms frequently develop in eutrophic freshwater bodies worldwide. Microcystis species produce microcystins (MCs) as a cyanotoxin. Certain bacteria that …
Autofluorescence Is a Common Trait in Different Oceanic Fungi
Natural autofluorescence is a widespread phenomenon observed in different types of tissues and organisms. Depending on the origin of the autofluorescence, its intensity can provide …
Microbial Processing of Jellyfish Detritus in the Ocean
Mesozooplankton taurine production and prokaryotic uptake in the northern Adriatic Sea
Dissolved free taurine, an important osmolyte in phytoplankton and metazoans, has been shown to be a significant carbon and energy source for prokaryotes in the North Atlantic …
