-Bacteria Interactions under Increasing CO Concentrations.

The interactions established between marine microbes, namely phytoplankton-bacteria, are key to the balance of organic matter export to depth and recycling in the surface ocean. Still, their role in the response of phytoplankton to rising CO concentrations is poorly understood. Here, we show that the response of the cosmopolitan () to increasing CO is affected by the coexistence with bacteria.

Comparison of archaeal and bacterial communities in two sponge species and seawater from an Indonesian coral reef environment.

Most existing coral reef studies have focused on a single biotope and a single domain (Archaea or Bacteria). Few coral reef studies have explored the archaeal and bacterial community simultaneously. In this study, we compare the diversity and composition of archaeal and bacterial communities in seawater and two closely related sponge species (Stylissa carteri and Stylissa massa) in the Berau reef system, Indonesia.
