This study quantifies the particle-associated Prochlorococcus population globally and finds it correlates with productivity and carbon export.

This study quantifies amine- and alcohol-containing exometabolites from six phytoplankton species, revealing taxonomic variation in exometabolite composition and its impact on marine carbon cycling.

The paper examines seasonal exometabolite patterns in the oligotrophic ocean, linking microbial functions to DOM dynamics and showing DOM composition is more stable than microbial community structure.

The paper identifies purine and pyrimidine cross-feeding networks among ocean microbes, revealing niche partitioning and potential cryptic nitrogen cycles driven by Prochlorococcus and SAR11 interactions.

The paper analyzes SAR202 bacterial genomes to show paralog expansions correlate with metabolic specialization and niche adaptation across ocean depths and regions.
