The paper examines spatial variations in carbohydrate composition and microbial utilisation in Arctic Atlantic waters during late summer, revealing distinct patterns of glycan distribution and microbial activity.

The paper shows how dissolved glycans from algal blooms influence bacterioplankton composition and how grazing affects glycan release during a North Sea spring bloom.

The paper shows algal glycans are not digested by bacteria in the deep-sea, allowing them to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for at least 1000 years.

This paper develops an enzymatic method to quantify α-glucans in marine particulate organic matter, revealing their significant contribution to marine carbon cycling.

The paper investigates how viral infection affects carbon cycling in algal blooms by altering the balance between bacterial and eukaryotic organic matter recyclers.

The paper determines the structural basis of ligand selectivity in MpPA14, a bacterial adhesin lectin, showing it binds specific monosaccharides and polysaccharides through distinct interactions.
