NewsMicrobes that “eat together” may benefit from a shared immunological memory
A new study examines viruses that infect microbes in the deep sea and finds evidence that viruses interact with a far more diverse set of hosts than was previously thought.

NewsNewly discovered probiotic could protect Caribbean corals threatened by deadly disease
Researchers have discovered the first effective bacterial probiotic for treating and preventing stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), a mysterious ailment that has devastated Florida’s coral reefs since 2014 and is rapidly spreading throughout the Caribbean.

NewsHolographic 3D microscope shows potential as red tide warning system
A new study is the first to utilize holography to characterize red tide in the field and breaks new ground for monitoring harmful algal blooms (HABs) and tackling limitations associated with current methods used to monitor these blooms.

NewsInto the microverse: scientists deploy novel data-driven method to map microbial niches
The researchers analysed and quantified thousands of metagenomic data sets from different microbial samples from all over the world.

NewsOcean warming intensifies viral outbreaks within corals
A groundbreaking three-year study has found that viruses may increase their attacks on the symbiotic algae within corals during marine heat waves.

NewsCoastal ecosystem shows shifting bacterial extracellular hydrolytic systems
Scientists have found that a coastal ecosystem that experiences periodic phytoplankton blooms appears to have two distinct bacterial extracellular hydrolytic systems linked to shifts in bacterial community structure.

NewsMethanogen genomes reveal how life thrives in extreme conditions
A comparison of the genomes of methane-producing microorganisms reveals that temperature adaptation might not be genomically encoded, but rather enforced through protein regulation and finer scale adaptations in amino acids.

NewsPhytoplankton blooms offer insight into impacts of climate change
The first study into the biological response of the upper ocean in the wake of South Pacific cyclones could help predict the impact of warming ocean temperatures, New Zealand researchers believe.

NewsScientists warn of rise in flesh-eating bacterial infection due to global warming
Continued warming of the climate would see a rise in the number and spread of potentially fatal infections caused by bacteria found along parts of the coast of the United States, researchers predict. Vibrio vulnificus bacteria grow in warm shallow coastal waters and can infect a cut or insect bite ...

NewsBacteria flourish in plumes of deep ocean volcanoes
Deep down in the ocean at tectonic plate boundaries, hot fluids rise from so-called hydrothermal vents. The fluids are devoid of oxygen and contain large amounts of metals such as iron, manganese or copper. Some may also transport sulphides, methane and hydrogen.

NewsTiny chalk discs in oceans play key role in earth’s carbon cycle by propagating viruses
Researchers find biomineral structures formed by marine algae foment viral infection, contributing positively to capture CO2.

News3D printing with bacteria-loaded ink produces bone-like composites
Researchers have published a method for 3D-printing an ink that contains calcium carbonate-producing bacteria. The 3D-printed mineralized bio-composite is unprecedently strong, light, and environmentally friendlly.

NewsNew phytoplankton study shines light on oceans’ capacity to absorb atmospheric CO2
A new study demonstrates the important role of a common group of marine calcifying phytoplankton (coccolithophores) in the regulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere.

NewsWorld first study sheds light on why microbes in the deep ocean live without sunlight
A world first study reverses the idea that the bulk of life in the ocean is fuelled by photosynthesis via sunshine, revealing that many ocean microbes in fact get their energy from hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

NewsNew species of microalgae found in home aquarium could deliver food, cosmetics and biofuel
Researchers analyzing DNA from a microalgae found in water from a home aquarium have discovered Medakamo hakoo, whose DNA sequence didn’t match any on record.
-
News‘Friend or foe’ bacteria kill algal hosts when coexisting no longer works out
A study sheds new light on chemical processes that cause marine bacteria to switch from coexistence with an algae host to killer mode.
-
NewsResearchers discover how bacteria in deep-sea vents deal with toxic metal environments
A new study investigates how bacteria in deep-sea hydrothermal vents can survive and thrive in the presence of highly toxic copper and cadmium.
