Microbial composition and diversity in marine sediments are shaped by environmental, biological, and anthropogenic processes operating at different scales. However, our understanding of benthic microbial biogeography remains limited. Here, we used 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing to characterize benthic microbiota in the North Sea from the top centimeter of 339 sediment samples.

- Marine microalgae blooms are crucial for global carbon cycling, significantly affecting how carbon is processed in the ocean.
- A study conducted in the German Bight analyzed 90 days of planktonic bacterial samples, revealing key bacterial metabolisms involved in breaking down algal polysaccharides, notably β-glucans and α-glucans.
- The findings suggest that both the presence and the breakdown of these polysaccharides shape the community structure of bacterioplankton during blooms, influenced by both algal and bacterial processes.
Serum medium-size molecules (MSM) and blood coagulation parameters have been studied before and after surgery in 60 patients randomized into 2 groups. Patients in group I were subjected to multicomponent endotracheal anesthesia with neuroleptanalgesia and cardiopulmonary bypass and to postoperative analgesia with non-narcotic and narcotic analgesics. Patients in group II were additionally subjected to epidural anesthesia into upper chest segments with trimecaine + adrenaline and low morphine doses.
