Oct 21, 2010 · Protists are critical links in microbial food webs, and these trophic interactions control the biological carbon pump in the ocean. They may drive the structure of marine macrobial assemblages ...
Marine viruses are defined by their habitat as viruses that are found in marine environments, that is, in the saltwater of seas or oceans or the brackish water of coastal estuaries. Viruses are small infectious agents that can only replicate inside the living cells of a host organism , because they need the replication machinery of the host to ...
Mar 3, 2020 · Background Plant health is intimately influenced by the rhizosphere microbiome, a complex assembly of organisms that changes markedly across plant growth. However, most rhizosphere microbiome research has focused on fractions of this microbiome, particularly bacteria and fungi. It remains unknown how other microbial components, especially key microbiome predators—protists—are linked to ...
Apr 15, 2021 · Interpolated average (2005–2017) SSS data (0.25° grid resolution) generated using gliders, oceanographic casts and other methods from the 2018 World Ocean Atlas 66 were parsed to include only ...
Jun 5, 2017 · Summary. The study of marine microbial ecology has been completely transformed by molecular and genomic data: after centuries of relative neglect, genomics has revealed the surprising extent of microbial diversity and how microbial processes transform ocean and global ecosystems. But the revolution is not complete: major gaps in our ...
Pseudo-nitzschia is a marine planktonic diatom genus that accounts for 4.4% of pennate diatoms found worldwide. [1] Some species are capable of producing the neurotoxin domoic acid (DA), which is responsible for the neurological disorder in humans known as amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). Currently, 58 species are known, 28 of which have been ...
Apr 5, 2017 · Protists can adapt to fluctuations in oceanic environments and result in changes in community accordingly (Hays et al., 2005; Jiang et al., 2014). Our results indicated that water nutrients, salinity and pH can affect the structure of the protist communities inferred from both morphological observation and 454 pyrosequencing methods.
