Enthusiast of Science investigating toxic Cyanobacteria at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro 🇧🇷
🚨New paper alert!

I’m thrilled to share that our paper characterizing #extracellular vesicles of the toxic #cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii has just been published on Algal Research Elsevier

🚨 In our new #preprint we investigated the #extracellularvesicles of the #cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii, first reported #saxitoxins released into its EVs and whether they contribute to R. raciborskii #allelopathy on phytoplankton.

Distinct horizontal gene transfer potential of extracellular vesicles versus viral-like particles in marine habitats - Nature Communications
Biller et al. use long-read sequencing of fractionated ocean nanoparticles, showing that extracellular vesicles and virus-like particles contain distinct pools of genetic information and thus may diff...
