Metabolites, or the small organic molecules that are synthesized by cells during metabolism, comprise a complex and dynamic pool of carbon in the ocean. They are an essential form of information, linking genotype to phenotype at the individual, population and community levels of biological organi...
Extracellular chemical cues constitute much of the language of life among marine organisms from microbes to mammals. These chemical cues shape foraging and feeding strategies, symbiotic interactions, selection of mates and habitats, and the transfer of energy and nutrient...
Organic carbon in seawater plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. The concentration and composition of dissolved organic carbon, operationally defined in this project as organic carbon that passes through a 0.2 µm filter, reflect the actions of the biological community and chemical ...
Untargeted features from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site collected during the time period spanning 2016 to 2019. Metabolites were sampled from surface seawater to 1000 m deep and throughout the year. Dissolved organic matter extracts were analyzed in positive and negative ion m...
Four species of phytoplankton representing important bloom-forming species from three globally important phyla (Bacillariophyta, Haptophyta, and Ochrophyte) were cultured in this study. These species include the cosmopolitan diatom Chaetoceros affinis CCMP159 (isolated from Great South B...
