Microbial eukaryotic predation pressure and biomass at deep-sea hydrothermal vents: Implications for deep-sea carbon cycling

S. K. Hu, R. E. Anderson, M. G. Pachiadaki, V. P. Edgcomb, M. H. Serres, S. P. Sylva, C. R. German, J. S. Seewald, S. Q. Lang, J. A. Huber

The paper measures microbial eukaryote abundances and predation rates at deep-sea hydrothermal vents, showing higher grazing rates under in situ pressure and their role in deep-sea carbon cycling.

Missing microbial eukaryotes and misleading meta-omic conclusions

A. I. Krinos, M. Mars Brisbin, S. K. Hu, N. R. Cohen, T. A. Rynearson, M. J. Follows, F. Schulz, H. Alexander

The paper highlights issues with taxonomic annotation in microbial eukaryote meta-omic datasets and proposes clustering as a more accurate approach than alignment-based methods.

Eukaryotic genomes from a global metagenomic dataset illuminate trophic modes and biogeography of ocean plankton

H. Alexander, S. K. Hu, A. I. Krinos, M. Pachiadaki, B. J. Tully, C. J. Neely, T. Reiter

The paper introduces EukHeist, a pipeline for retrieving eukaryotic and prokaryotic MAGs from metagenomic data, and applies it to Tara Oceans data to identify ecological cohorts and host-microbe associations.

Disentangling top-down drivers of mortality underlying diel population dynamics of Prochlorococcus in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

S. J. Beckett, D. Demory, A. R. Coenen, J. R. Casey, M. Dugenne, C. L. Follett, P. Connell, M. C. G. Carlson, S. K. Hu, S. T. Wilson, D. Muratore, R. A. Rodriguez-Gonzalez, S. Peng, K. W. Becker, D. R. Mende, , J. S. Weitz

The paper develops multitrophic models to investigate top-down and bottom-up drivers of Prochlorococcus population dynamics in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, finding grazers are the primary top-down factor despite high viral densities.
