Under the sea ice during the Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, cells power photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever ...

Phytoplankton, tiny plant-like organisms in the ocean, are incredibly important for life on Earth. They're a major food source for many sea creatures and produce almost half the oxygen we breathe.

Beneath the waves, countless microscopic organisms play essential roles in maintaining Earth’s delicate balance. Among them, phytoplankton stand out as some of the most important. These tiny, ...

This research studied the dynamic variations in nutrients and phytoplankton of intensive mariculture systems and explored the effects of MC. The intensive culture of Litopenaeus vannamei caused a ...

Aquatic ecosystems face increasing stress from emerging contaminants (ECs), including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, ...

Marine biotoxins are poisonous substances which can accumulate in the tissues of live bivalve molluscs. This can be as a result of feeding on biotoxin producing phytoplankton. There are currently ...

Dickey, Mercer and their colleagues used phytoplankton, which are microscopic, single-celled plant-like organisms, and their external microbiomes as a tractable model system. By manipulating host ...

Ocean productivity is driven by phytoplankton — microscopic marine algae that live in the sunlit surface water of the ocean. This not only forms the base of the marine food chain, supporting ...
