Diel Partitioning in Microbial Phosphorus Acquisition in the Sargasso Sea

The paper shows that in the phosphorus-limited Sargasso Sea, different microbes uptake phosphorus at different times of day, supporting temporal niche partitioning.

Cool temperature acclimation in toxigenic Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806 and its non-toxigenic mutant

This study compares microcystin production in a toxigenic and non-toxigenic strain of M. aeruginosa under cold temperatures, showing increased microcystin quota and physiological changes in the wildtype.

Declines in ice cover induce light limitation in freshwater diatoms

The paper investigates how declining ice cover in Lake Erie affects diatom blooms by analyzing physiochemical and metatranscriptomic data, finding light limitation and adaptive gene expression changes.

Flaming as part of aseptic technique increases CO2(g) and decreases pH in freshwater culture media

The paper shows that flaming during aseptic technique lowers pH and increases CO2 in freshwater media, affecting cyanobacterial growth.

Nutrient stoichiometry shapes microbial coevolution

This study shows that nutrient stoichiometry affects microbial coevolution by altering host-parasite interaction stability and coevolutionary dynamics.

Cryopreservation of Paramecium bursaria Chlorella Virus-1 during an active infection cycle of its host

This study develops a method to cryopreserve Paramecium bursaria Chlorella virus-1 during its host's active infection cycle, finding that cryopreserving infected hosts at mid-late infection stages significantly increases viral survival.

One-time Nitrogen Fertilization Shifts Switchgrass Soil Microbiomes within a Context of Larger Spatial and Temporal Variation

The paper examines how one-time nitrogen fertilization affects soil microbiomes in switchgrass fields, finding that spatial and temporal variation outweighs fertilization effects.

Diversity of active viral infections within the Sphagnum microbiome

The paper uses metatranscriptomics to identify active viral infections in the Sphagnum microbiome, revealing diverse viral taxa and potential virus-host interactions.

Strength in numbers: collaborative science for new experimental model systems

The paper describes a collaborative initiative to develop genetic models for marine protists, highlighting the approach, achievements, and lessons learned.

Infection By A Giant Virus Induces Widespread Physiological Reprogramming In Aureococcus anophagefferens - A Harmful Bloom Algae

This study investigates the transcriptomic changes in Aureococcus anophagefferens infected by the giant virus AaV, revealing widespread physiological reprogramming and gene expression patterns.

VIRUS-HOST INFECTION DYNAMICS OF MARINE SINGLE-CELLED EUKARYOTES RESOLVED FROM METATRANSCRIPTOMICS

The paper uses metatranscriptomics to analyze active virus-host infections in marine single-celled eukaryotes, revealing diverse and dynamic interactions in two coastal environments.
