Microbial rhodopsins are increasingly favored over chlorophyll in High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll waters

B. Hassanzadeh, B. Thomson, F. Deans, J. Wenley, S. Lockwood, K. Currie, S. Morales, L. Steindler, S. Sanudo-Wilhelmy, F. Baltar, L. Gomez-Consarnau

The paper reports high concentrations of microbial rhodopsins in HNLC waters where chlorophyll-a is low, suggesting rhodopsin phototrophy may compensate for impaired photosynthesis and respiration.

Are oceanic fronts ecotones? Seasonal changes along the Subtropical Front show fronts as bacterioplankton transition zones but not diversity hotspots

S. E. Morales, M. Meyer, K. Currie, F. Baltar

The paper investigates whether oceanic fronts act as ecotones by analyzing seasonal changes in bacterioplankton communities along the Subtropical Front, finding they are transition zones but not diversity hotspots.
