Role of diatom-derived oxylipins in organic phosphorus recycling during coastal diatom blooms in the northern South China Sea.

Diatom-bacteria interactions and the associated bloom dynamics have not been fully understood in the coastal oceans. Here, we focus on the polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) produced by diatoms in the post-bloom phase and look into their roles in microbial phosphorus (P) recycling outside of a P-limited estuary. The phytoplankton community in the bloom was dominated by PUAs-producing diatoms (Skeletonema costatum, Thalassiosira spp.

Effects of Vertical Water Mass Segregation on Bacterial Community Structure in the Beaufort Sea.

The Arctic Ocean is one of the least well-studied marine microbial ecosystems. Its low-temperature and low-salinity conditions are expected to result in distinct bacterial communities, in comparison to lower latitude oceans. However, this is an ocean currently in flux, with climate change exerting pronounced effects on sea-ice coverage and freshwater inputs.

Estimating Primary Production of Picophytoplankton Using the Carbon-Based Ocean Productivity Model: A Preliminary Study.

Picophytoplankton are acknowledged to contribute significantly to primary production (PP) in the ocean while now the method to measure PP of picophytoplankton (PP) at large scales is not yet well established. Although the traditional C method and new technologies based on the use of stable isotopes (e.g.

Identify, Verify, and Comply: The Three Pillars of a Successful Electrical Safety Program.

What's shocking is that many workers are not using rubber insulating equipment because they simply don't know they need it.

Spatiotemporal variations of inorganic nutrients along the Jiangsu coast, China, and the occurrence of macroalgal blooms (green tides) in the southern Yellow Sea.

Large macroalgal blooms (i.e. green tides of Ulva prolifera) occurred in the southern Yellow Sea, China, yearly from 2007 to 2016.
