New research finds that more bacterioplankton utilize vitamin B1 or B1 precursors from their environment than synthesize their own. The researchers also found that B1 availability can directly limit ...

Coral reefs are important habitats as hotspots of biological diversity and productivity in the oligotrophic ocean (Capone, 1996). Tropical coral reefs are also among the most threatened marine ...

Researchers report that bacterioplankton, cornerstones of microbial food webs in aquatic ecosystems that can modulate Earth's climate, are more reliant on external sources of vitamin B1 or its ...

Inputs of dust from the Sahara desert could change the composition of microbial communities in the (sub)tropical eastern North Atlantic, say researchers. Inputs of dust from the Sahara desert could ...
