This study investigates how RNA virus infection reprograms the metabolism of a marine diatom, revealing significant changes in lipid and nitrogen pathways and stress responses.

This study characterizes the microbiomes of Phaeocystis antarctica colonies in the Southern Ocean and laboratory culture, showing shifts in bacterial composition and highlighting the importance of field studies for understanding microbial interactions.

The paper analyzes a global lipidomics dataset to reveal how marine plankton adapt their lipidomes to environmental stressors, identifying distinct lipid clusters linked to temperature, light, and nutrient conditions.

This study shows viral infection of diatoms increases oxylipin production, enhancing carbon export in the ocean despite viral shunt processes.

The paper isolates and characterizes four new Prochlorococcus strains, revealing physiological and genomic features that expand the understanding of its macroevolutionary history.

The paper investigates how microbial metabolic specificity affects lipid export efficiency in the ocean by analyzing bacterial degradation of algal lipid droplets and microbial interactions.

The paper analyzes pigment and metatranscriptomic data to show synchronized diel patterns of phytoplankton light response across domains in the open ocean.
