The paper presents a dataset of marine picoplankton metagenomes from 11 vertical profiles, providing insights into functional and taxonomic connectivity between photic and bathypelagic zones.

This study isolates marine bacteria from manipulated seawater samples and finds that reduced grazing, viral pressure, and increased nutrients enhance culturability, challenging the 1% culturability paradigm.

This study investigates how ecological mechanisms shape picoplankton communities across different ocean depths, finding that selection decreases and dispersal limitation increases with depth.

The paper shows that a significant portion of deep ocean heterotrophic bacteria can be cultured, with isolates matching abundant 16S ASVs in bathypelagic samples.

The paper analyzes deep ocean viral communities to show that water mass age influences their taxonomic composition and auxiliary metabolic gene content.

The paper investigates temporal dynamics of microbial associations in a Mediterranean Sea time series using a temporal network approach, finding annual cycles and seasonal variability in microbial interactions.

This study examines how microbial associations change across different ocean depths and regions, finding that most surface associations disappear with depth and that associations are highly variable across space.

This paper introduces a PCR-free method using the psbO gene to estimate phytoplankton abundance from metagenomes, showing better correlation with flow cytometry and microscopy than rRNA genes.

This study investigates the role of dissolved organic matter quality in shaping the active bathypelagic microbiome, finding that free-living prokaryotes contribute significantly in DOM-depleted regions.

The paper identifies a dynamic core marine microbiota in a Mediterranean coastal observatory over 10 years, showing seasonal variations and interactions among core taxa.

This study examines niche differentiation among closely related marine bacteria, finding that niche similarity decreases with genetic divergence and that niche partitioning occurs within genera but not at broader taxonomic levels.

The paper identifies oceanic PETase variants in marine metagenomes, showing their prevalence and potential role in plastic degradation.

The paper isolates and analyzes marine heterotrophic bacteria from various oceanic regions, revealing distribution patterns and high similarity between photic and aphotic isolates.

The paper analyzes deep ocean microbial metagenomes to reveal functional diversity and metabolic strategies in the dark ocean.

The paper examines long-term seasonal dynamics of marine photoheterotrophic bacteria over a decade, revealing low cohesiveness within phylogroups and distinct niche partitioning.
