Catchment characteristics and seasonality control the composition of microbial assemblages exported from three outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet
Tyler Joe Kohler, Martina Andrea Schön
Glacial meltwater drains into proglacial rivers where it interacts with the surrounding landscape, collecting microbial cells as it travels downstream. Characterizing the composition of the resulting microbial assemblages in transport can inform us about i ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Carbon nanotube uptake in cyanobacteria for near-infrared imaging and enhanced bioelectricity generation in living photovoltaics
Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert, Mohammed Mouhib, Charlotte Elisabeth Marie Roullier, Alice Judith Gillen, Alessandra Antonucci, Vitalijs Zubkovs, Nils Schürgers
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have unique optoelectronic properties that make them suitable for applications ranging from phototherapy to imaging and sensing, but their uptake has mainly been explored in eukaryotic cells. Here the authors explore ...
2022Spatial patterns of benthic biofilm diversity among streams draining proglacial floodplains
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Tyler Joe Kohler, Jade Brandani, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Paraskevi Pramateftaki, Matteo Roncoroni
Glacier shrinkage opens new proglacial terrain with pronounced environmental gradients along longitudinal and lateral chronosequences. Despite the environmental harshness of the streams that drain glacier forelands, their benthic biofilms can harbor astoni ...
2022Growth and persistence of an aerobic microbial community in Wyoming bentonite MX-80 despite anoxic in-situ conditions
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Niels Burzan, Roberta Murad Lima
Microbial activity has the potential to enhance the corrosion of high-level radioactive waste disposal canisters, which, in the proposed Swiss deep geological repository, will be embedded in bentonite and placed in the Opalinus Clay rock formation (OPA). T ...
2022Inhibited vertical mixing and seasonal persistence of a thin cyanobacterial layer in a stratified lake
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner, Bieito Fernandez Castro
Harmful blooms of the filamentous cyanobacteria Planktothrix rubescens have become common in many lakes as they have recovered from eutrophication over the last decades. These cyanobacteria, capable of regulating their vertical position, often flourish at ...
2021Phototransformation kinetics of cyanobacterial toxins and secondary metabolites in surface waters
Background Cyanobacteria and their toxins occur in high concentrations during the so-called bloom events in surface waters. To be able to assess the risks associated with cyanobacterial blooms, we need to understand the persistence and fate processes of th ...
SPRINGER2021Persistence of bioconvection-induced mixed layers in a stratified lake
Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner
In situ observations of biophysical interactions in natural waters typically focus on physical mechanisms influencing biological activity. Yet, biological activity can also drive physical processes in aquatic environments. A community of photoautotrophic, ...
2021Highly Variable and Non-complex Diazotroph Communities in Corals From Ambient and High CO2 Environments
Nils Rädecker, Gabriela Hannah Holligan Perna
The ecological success of corals depends on their association with microalgae and a diverse bacterial assemblage. Ocean acidification (OA), among other stressors, threatens to impair host-microbial metabolic interactions that underlie coral holobiont funct ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2021The architecture of benthic biofilms - Linking hydraulics to spatially structured processes
Biofilms are spatially structured ecosystems, characterized by patterns and architectural features determined by the interplay between endogenous and exogenous processes. As in many other structured ecosystems, the characterization of spatial interactions ...
EPFL2021Working on mobility from people
Describing, understanding, explaining and regulating mobility requires transversal approaches. Traditionally, mobility analysis proceeds by partitioning into four differentiated forms according to two dimensions: the temporality of which it is based and th ...
