Open AccessAlpha-glucans from bacterial necromass indicate an intra-population loop within the marine carbon cycle
Phytoplankton blooms provoke bacterioplankton blooms, from which bacterial biomass (necromass) is released via increased zooplankton grazing and viral lysis. While bacterial consumption of algal biomass during...

Open AccessParticle-attached bacteria act as gatekeepers in the decomposition of complex phytoplankton polysaccharides
Marine microalgae (phytoplankton) mediate almost half of the worldwide photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation and therefore play a pivotal role in global carbon cycling, most prominently during massive phytopl...

Open AccessDissolved storage glycans shaped the community composition of abundant bacterioplankton clades during a North Sea spring phytoplankton bloom
Blooms of marine microalgae play a pivotal role in global carbon cycling. Such blooms entail successive blooms of specialized clades of planktonic bacteria that collectively remineralize gigatons of algal biom...

An Experimental Comparison Between FTIR and Raman Microspectroscopy Applied to the Morphological Analysis of Microplastics in Drinking Water
Fourier-Transform InfraRed micro-spectroscopy (µFTIR) was applied to the microplastic (MP) analysis of drinking water samples taken from the inlet and outlet of a groundwater-fed waterworks located in Denmark....
