One-quarter of photosynthesis-derived carbon on Earth rapidly cycles through a set of short-
lived seawater metabolites that are generated from the activities of marine phytoplankton …

Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) contains more carbon than the combined stocks of
Earth's biota. Organisms in the ocean continuously release a myriad of molecules that …

Protist plankton are major members of open‐water marine food webs. Traditionally divided
between phototrophic phytoplankton and phagotrophic zooplankton, recent research shows …

Background Blooms of marine microalgae play a pivotal role in global carbon cycling. Such
blooms entail successive blooms of specialized clades of planktonic bacteria that …

Microbial interactions in aquatic environments profoundly affect global biogeochemical
cycles, but the role of microparasites has been largely overlooked. Using a model …

The cycling of major nutrients in the ocean is affected by large-scale phytoplankton blooms,
which are hot spots of microbial life. Diverse microbial interactions regulate bloom dynamics …

Phytoplankton blooms provoke bacterioplankton blooms, from which bacterial biomass
(necromass) is released via increased zooplankton grazing and viral lysis. While bacterial …

Although microalgal–bacterial co-cultures have been largely investigated for nutrient
removal, their application in treating real wastewaters is still debatable because effluent …

Phaeocystis is a cosmopolitan, bloom-forming phytoplankton genus that contributes
significantly to global carbon and sulfur cycles. During blooms, Phaeocystis species produce …

Unicellular algae, termed phytoplankton, greatly impact the marine environment by serving
as the basis of marine food webs and by playing central roles in the biogeochemical cycling …
