Major contribution of particle‐associated microbes to deep‐sea organic carbon degradation
The biological carbon pump mediates the export of particulate organic carbon from the euphotic zone to the deep ocean, where it provides the base of the food web. Although deep-sea microbial metaboli...

grateful for the opportunity to share some of our research @ #SAME18 💙
@marinelena.bsky.social gave a compelling talk on “Distinct communities of particle-associated microbes drive organic carbon degradation in the dark ocean”.

Check out what we were up to during our most recent expedition. Extremely grateful to be part of this adventure 🌊
From Vienna to the Atlantic Ocean: Tracing the deep sea's missing carbon 🌊 🔍
We join microbial oceanographer Gerhard Herndl and his team as they collect samples across the North Atlantic, from icy northern seas to the subtropical waters of the Azores. ⤵️

➡️ #Rudolphina Roadtrip: Eine Schiffsexpedition im Nordatlantik 🌊 🗺️
Wir begleiten Gerhard Herndl, der mit seinem Team eines der großen Rätsel des Kohlenstoffkreislaufs der #Tiefsee entschlüsseln möchte: Woher stammt der #Kohlenstoff, der das Leben tausende Meter unter der Meeresoberfläche speist❓🗝️
Auf der Suche nach fehlendem Kohlenstoff in der Tiefsee
Eine Schiffsexpedition im Nordatlantik ist die nächste Etappe unseres Rudolphina-Roadtrips. Wir begleiten Gerhard Herndl, der mit seinem Team eines der großen Rätsel des Kohlenstoffkreislaufs der Tiefsee entschlüsseln möchte: Woher stammt der Kohlenstoff, der das Leben tausende Meter unter der Meeresoberfläche speist?

In just a few weeks, the MOVIE group sets sail on a 1-month research cruise aboard the R/V Pelagia in the Atlantic Ocean!
Our equipment is packed and shipped, and the count down has officially begun as we get ready to join the NEREIDES cruise. Stay tuned for updates ⛴️ 🌊🦠
