New paper out 🌊🪱🔬
We investigated the microbiome of the polychaete Lanice conchilega. We identified Endozoicomonas as a key component of the microbiome, which is subject to seasonal changes.

This is quite an exciting opportunity to push the boundaries of what is known regarding the molecular basis of the formation and demise of photosymbiotic relationships in marine habitats.

🚨 🌡️🌊 Warming seas will push Antarctic phytoplankton closer to their thermal optimum, altering growth and stoichiometry. Species-specific growth performance varied whether the species grew in monocultures or in communities.

Nutrient‐dependent thermal response in growth and stoichiometry of Antarctic phytoplankton
Rising temperatures and altered nutrient supply are expected to influence future phytoplankton thermal performance and community dynamics. The thermal response of phytoplankton has been shown to be i...

Happy to share our paper from Woodstoich 5. ☮️
We present a integrativ modeling approach, that involves a genome-scale analysis to gain insights into nutrient fluxes (C:N:P) within phytoplankton cells.
Thanks to all involved ♥️ 🦭🦕
