In den letzten Tagen gab es erneut tote #Fische in der 🇵🇱🇩🇪 #Oder/#Odra.
Im Gespräch mit Tina Baier/SZ erklärt Fischökologe Christian Wolter/Leibniz-Institut für Gewässerökologie (IGB), warum es so wichtig wäre, endlich Konsequenzen zu ziehen. #PrymnesiumParvum

Really excited that this paper is finally out! We analyzed the prokaryotic and microeukaryotic portions of the Paramuricea clavata microbiome🦠and found that certain microeukaryotes were significantly correlated with thermal stress sensitivity 🔥 ami-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/....

"We need to support those who have the necessary knowledge to isolate and culture protists from the environment and to train new generations of scientists who could find this field of research attractive...so they are ready to take over and lead the protist culturing renaissance."
