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 ...
Particulate organic matter (fecal pellets) from zooplankton has been demonstrated to be important nutrient sources for the pelagic prokaryotic community. Significantly less is known about the chemical composition of the dissolved organic matter (DOM) produced by these eukaryotes and its infl...
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...
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...
Parasitism is a widespread source of mortality among marine microbial communities, with members of the diverse alveolate group Syndiniales being most prevalent and frequently identified in global omics studies. Despite their ubiquity, not much is known about Syndiniales parasite-host infection dy...
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...
