Marine Microbe Contains Multitudes

Boeuf and colleagues collected samples of SAR324 microbial communities from this research vessel, the Kilo Moana. (School of Ocean And Earth Science And Technology at University of Hawaii at Manoa)A deep dive into microbial genomics reveals one bacterial species is made of four ecologically distinct groups with different lifestyles.

When “The Blob” Made It Hotter Under the Water

This data image shows the monthly average sea surface temperature for May 2015. Between 2013 and 2016, a large mass of unusually warm ocean water--nicknamed the blob--dominated the North Pacific, indicated here by red, pink, and yellow colors signifying temperatures as much as three degrees Celsius (five degrees Fahrenheit) higher than average. Data are from the NASA Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (MUR SST) Analysis product. (Courtesy NASA Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center)With genomic samples collected before, during and after The Blob, researchers developed a preliminary model of how marine microbial communities are affected by warming events.

The Case for Conservation

Female (left) and male (right) Ceratodon purpureus plants. Females typically grow larger than males in several traits, like the length of leaves. Males often turn red when developing antheridiophores, which in mosses are the structures that produce sperm (seen in the bottom right. (Sarah Carey)High-quality reference genome sequences of the male and female fire moss plants are now available, and lessons from their sex chromosomes could help improve crop yields. [Read More]

Monitoring Inter-Organism Interactions Within Ecosystems

In their approved proposal, Frederick Colwell of Oregon State University and colleagues are interested in the microbial communities that live on Alaska’s glacially dominated Copper River Delta. They’re looking at how the microbes in these high latitude wetlands, such as the Copper River Delta wetland pond shown here, cycle carbon. (Courtesy of Rick Colwell)The latest portfolio of proposals approved through the JGI’s annual Community Science Program (CSP) call. [Read More]

Plotting a Model for Virus-Host Warfare Deep Below Ground

Image of biofilm with both Altiarchaea (blue) and viruses (red). (Victoria Turzynksi and Lea Griesdorn)Researchers describe how viruses repeatedly attempt to infect and destroy their hosts – and how the microbes resist. [Read More]

Climate Change Threatens Base of Polar Oceans’ Bountiful Food Webs

Scientists sample a brown mat of aggregated phytoplankton. (Katrin Schmidt)A study suggests climate change is behind a trend that could destabilize the delicate marine food web. [Read More]
