Eutrophication is a complex process and often associated with not only a change in overall
algal biomass but also with a change in biodiversity. Common metrics of eutrophication (eg …

Organophosphonic acids are unique as natural products in terms of stability and mimicry.
The C–P bond that defines these compounds resists hydrolytic cleavage, while the …

Marine picocyanobacteria of the genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus numerically
dominate the picophytoplankton of the world ocean, making a key contribution to global …

It is now well recognized that there are more harmful algal blooms (HABs), more often, in
new and different places, often lasting longer, and with a range of toxicities, and that many of …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for marine phytoplankton and indeed all life forms.
Current data show that P availability is growth‐limiting in certain marine systems and can …

Polyphosphate (polyP), a polymer of orthophosphate (PO4 3-) of varying lengths, has been
identified in all kingdoms of life. It can serve as a source of chemical bond energy …

Cyanobacteria are often the key organisms comprising microbial mats. They form dense
micrometer-scale communities in which the full plethora of microbial metabolism can be …

Phosphorus (P) is a required element for life. Its various chemical forms are found
throughout the lithosphere and hydrosphere, where they are acted on by numerous abiotic …

Both abiotic and biotic explanations have been proposed to explain recent recurrent
nuisance/harmful algal blooms in the western basin and central basin of Lake Erie. We used …

Relative to the atmosphere, much of the aerobic ocean is supersaturated with methane;
however, the source of this important greenhouse gas remains enigmatic. Catabolism of …
