Common ocean bacteria struggle to divide when conditions change, reshaping how warming seas affect ecosystems.
A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...
Marine bacteria are key to determining whether carbon is recycled near the ocean surface or transported to deeper waters, but many operate in constant threat of being infected by viruses called phages ...
New Science paper reveals contribution of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria to the capture of carbon dioxide in the deep, unlit waters of the ocean Marine bacteria that live in the dark depths of the ocean ...

Chemotactic bacteria can swim towards the nutrient-rich water around picophytoplankton, but they don’t stay long. Credit: Dr Douglas R. Brumley Chemotactic bacteria can swim towards the nutrient-rich ...
Marine bacteria normally seen as single cells join together as a “microscopic snow globe” to consume bulky floating carbohydrates. Close your eyes and imagine bacteria. Perhaps you’re picturing our ...
Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is far more interconnected than anyone realized. Biologists once thought of ...
