Aquatic Microbial Ecology (AME)

Short-term response and recovery from T/S stress in 4 HAB producers (#Dinophysis acuminata, D. acuta, D. caudata + #Alexandrium minutum) from #GalicianRías. Specific adaptations found to thrive in #estuarine #coastal #upwelling system. #AME #OpenAccess bit.ly/ame_89_1

#Microbial #plankton and feedbacks with #hypoxia in a human-impacted estuary. #Bacteria, #archaea and #eukaryotes were sampled in #LongIslandSound to capture a gradient from off #NewYorkCity towards less #eutrophic waters. #AME bit.ly/ame_88_61

Diatoms in my plankton sample from the sea off Plymouth, UK last Friday where Coscinodiscus wailesii is blooming. Here's a haiku about them 😀@zeiss_micro Solar cells in glass Capturing sunlight to grow Photosynthesis

Structure and dynamics of #plankton #ciliates from the #SaladoRiver basin (Argentina) were analyzed related to alterations of environmental variables during 4 #ElNiño-Southern Oscillation events. #AME bit.ly/ame_88_43

This is why I love plankton. The sheer biodiversity and colours. Teeming with natural beauty that is hidden until I look through a microscope. It's never boring. (Plankton is important too, see my pinned thread and listen to David Attenborough tell you more.) @zeiss_micro

We provide 2 almost full-length reference #16SrRNA #genesequences (1532 bp) to enhance gene-based detection of Candidatus #Methylumidiphilus, an abundant #methanotrophic genus in water columns of oxygen-stratified lakes and ponds #AME bit.ly/ame_88_25

The last chapter of my dissertation is finally published in @AME_IntRes! Learn more about Southern Ocean shelled pteropod feeding ecology and microbiome with high-throughput sequencing here: doi.org/10.3354/ame019… @PalmerLTER @VIMS_News @UNCims @URIGSO

#Pteropods are abundant #zooplankton in the #SouthernOcean but little is known about their feeding ecology or #microbiome. We investigate this in Limacina antarctica with high throughput sequencing. #AME bit.ly/ame_88_19

An examination of #Micronesian reefs across 875053 km2 shows that #reefwater #microbia ecology is influenced by the density and diversity of #corals as well as biogeographical-related features. #AME #OpenAccess bit.ly/ame_86_115

our review is here: Human impact on symbioses between aquatic organisms and microbes🌊🦠doi.org/10.3354/ame019… @AME_IntRes. The result of an amazing collaboration @TheysCharlotte @rubenschols @GrossartHans @ellendecaesteck @bioanalyst1 @MEG_Verbania @ViennaDelnat @esee_lab & ...

We are very proud to have contributed to this hot-off-the-press review on #microbial symbiosis in human-altered aquatic systems, led by @StockWillem, published in @AME_IntRes (+ includes very neat graphics!). Congrats to the @esee_lab members @TheysCharlotte and @ViennaDelnat!

An overview of how human activities are altering interactions between #aquatic hosts and their associated #microbes; implications for the host’s health and the aquatic ecosystems can be profound. #AME #OA ➡️ doi.org/10.3354/ame019…

Spatio-temporal survey of #microphytobenthos biomass, diversity and assemblage structure in the #LoireEstuary highlights role of tychoplanktonic #diatoms in #macrotidal #mudflats. #AME #OA bit.ly/ame_87_61

The contribution of biofilm-associated #microbes, including #ammonium and #nitrite oxidisers, to the total #microbialcommunity increased sharply across the pre-treatment system of a seawater #reverseosmosis #desalination plant. Read more about this study: bit.ly/ame_86_63

Enjoyed working with Dr Gwynneth Matcher on our new paper that investigated #bacterial community dynamics during a #HAB of Heterosigma akashiwo in the #eutrophic Sundays Estuary 🦠📜🌍📈 doi: doi.org/10.3354/ame019… @ShallowWaterRes @NRF_SAIAB @Rhodes_Uni @AME_IntRes

#Cryptophyte Teleaulax amphioxeia swims faster than Storeatula major and Guillardia theta. Ambush-feeding ciliate Mesodinium rubrum selects T. amphioxeia as it offers significantly high prey encounters and hydrodynamic signals. #AME bit.ly/ame_86_169

Maja Opalički Slabe et al. examined dynamics of #microbial communities in pristine #karst spring waters of #Slovenia. Results showed significant regional and seasonal differences, with the catchment altitude as a key determinant of their variability. #OA bit.ly/ame_86_99
