Project description: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 phytoplankton blooms. Phytoplankton biomass consists of considerable proportions of polysaccharides, substantial parts of which are rapidly remineralized by heterotrophic bacteria. We analyzed the diversity, activity and functional potential of such polysaccharide-degrading bacteria in different size fractions during a diverse spring phytoplankton bloom at Helgoland Roads (southern North Sea) at high temporal resolution using microscopic, physicochemical, biodiversity, metagenome and metaproteome analyses.

Project description:Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly detected pharmaceuticals in wastewater effluent; however the effects of ibuprofen on aquatic organisms are poorly understood. This study presents the transcriptome-wide response of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, to chronic 14 d exposures to ibuprofen.
Project description:Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly detected pharmaceuticals in wastewater effluent; however the effects of ibuprofen on aquatic organisms are poorly understood. This study presents the transcriptome-wide response of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, to chronic 14 d exposures to ibuprofen. Twenty-four samples were run on twenty-four arrays, there were six replicates for each of three ibuprofen exposure concentrations and a control group.
