Excited to announce our latest publication! Take a look at our review on polar microbiology and climate change nature.com/articles/s4157…

Our last paper is out: "Shotgun metagenomics reveals the flexibility and diversity of Arctic marine microbiomes" academic.oup.com/ismecommun/art… @universitelaval @ISMEComms @GenoLAGE funded by @QuebecOcean @sentinelle_nord @ArcticNet

In #EnvironmentalMicrobiome 🚨Evaluating #bioremediation techniques to minimise the impact of oil spills on #Arctic shorelines❄️ 📢Preventive & responsive measures will be crucial for mitigating the environmental impacts of #OilSpills 👉doi.org/10.1186/s40793… @FreyriaNastasia

Happy to share our latest publication on hydrocarbon degradation in high-Arctic beach sediment ex-situ mesocosms. @WhyteLab @mcgillu #EnvironmentalMicrobiome @MicrobiomeJ …ronmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Happy to share our latest paper in our lab @WhyteLab about hydrocarbon biodegradation potential of Canadian high Arctic beaches. @mcgillu …ronmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

The authors analyzed the response of an Arctic pelagophyte to lowered salinity. They observed that several ancient and widespread pathways were activated, allowing the species to adjust to the stress of rapid salinity change. doi.org/10.1038/s42003…

We're thrilled to announce the publication of our latest paper in @CommsBio about the amazing Arctic pelagophyte Plocamiomonas psychrophila and how it adapts to changing salinity levels. #PolarScience #PolarPhytoplankton #Arctic nature.com/articles/s4200…
