Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 61, No. 6 (2016), pp. 2151-2164 (14 pages) Cellular responses of Fe-limited Microcystis aeruginosa were investigated under nutrient-depleted and -replete conditions.

A team of researchers led by University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa oceanography professors Grieg Steward and Kyle Edwards has spent years taming mysterious marine microbes from the open ocean to grow in the ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 58, No. 5 (2013), pp. 1667-1679 (13 pages) We investigated the link between iron (Fe) limitation and intracellular dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) concentration in ...

Although these microscopic organisms are among the ocean’s smallest, their “blooms” are often visible from space. Phytoplankton are critical to making the planet livable and contribute to the global ...

Phytoplankton are microscopic plants floating around in marine and aquatic ecosystems that produce 50-80% of the world’s oxygen. Besides providing food for countless other organisms, they are so ...

Armor-plated marine microbes surprised scientists a few years ago by recovering their shell-building prowess in levels of ocean acidification expected under future climate change. But those gains were ...

PhD student investigates how specific ocean microbes produce a potent neurotoxin harmful to humans and animals SW: I study how specific photosynthetic ocean microbes, or single-celled algae and ...

SEATTLE (AP) — For decades, scientists believed Prochlorococcus, the smallest and most abundant phytoplankton on Earth, would thrive in a warmer world. But new research suggests the microscopic ...

Plankton are a collection of tiny organisms that live at and beneath the surface of lakes, rivers, ponds, and oceans across the planet. They’re named for the Greek word planktos, meaning to drift or ...

It’s one of the most massive migrations on Earth: a huge biomass of tiny plankton that travel from deep in the sea toward the surface. Yet not all of those organisms have limbs to propel themselves ...
