Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analysis Reveals Nitrogen Recycling as a Core Mechanism for Prochlorococcus Prolonged Survival

This study uses transcriptomics and proteomics to show that Prochlorococcus survives nitrogen limitation through a mutualistic relationship with Alteromonas, which recycles nitrogen via organic matter degradation.

Four Potential Mechanisms Underlying Phytoplankton-Bacteria Interactions Assessed Using Experiments and Models

The paper assesses four mechanisms of phytoplankton-bacteria interactions using models and experiments, finding two distinct modes of interaction and highlighting the need for additional mechanisms like allelopathy.

Distinct microbial response to organic matter from nitrogen-starved and virus-infected phytoplankton

The paper shows that DOM from nitrogen-starved and virus-infected Prochlorococcus triggers different microbial responses in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Dynamics of cell death due to N and P starvation across intra-clade diversity in Prochlorococcus

The paper examines how nitrogen and phosphate starvation affect cell death in 15 Prochlorococcus strains, identifying sensitivity patterns linked to DNA repair and protein quality control genes.

Jellyfish blooms Through the Microbial Lens: Temporal Changes, Cross-Species and Jellyfish-Water Comparisons

This study examines microbial dynamics in Rhopilema nomadica blooms, identifying tissue-specific taxa and cross-species patterns, while highlighting localized bacterial transmission.

Diversity in the Utilization of Different Molecular Classes of Dissolved Organic Matter by Heterotrophic Marine Bacteria

This study investigates how different molecular classes of dissolved organic matter (DOM) are utilized by heterotrophic marine bacteria in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, revealing diverse utilization patterns among bacterial clades.
