Photobiology and metabolic interactions in the symbiotic jellyfish Cassiopea

The symbiont-bearing jellyfish Cassiopea live a benthic lifestyle, positioning themselves upside-down on sediments in shallow waters to allow their endosymbiotic algae to photosynthesize in the sunlight. Over the last decades Cassiopea has become increasin ...

Patterns in Microbial Assemblages Exported From the Meltwater of Arctic and Sub-Arctic Glaciers

Tyler Joe Kohler

Meltwater streams connect the glacial cryosphere with downstream ecosystems. Dissolved and particulate matter exported from glacial ecosystems originates from contrasting supraglacial and subglacial environments, and exported microbial cells have the poten ...

High-resolution underwater laser spectrometer sensing provides new insights into methane distribution at an Arctic seepage site

Jérôme Chappellaz

Methane (CH4) in marine sediments has the potential to contribute to changes in the ocean and climate system. Physical and biochemical processes that are difficult to quantify with current standard methods such as acoustic surveys and discrete sampling gov ...

Kleptoplastidic benthic foraminifera from aphotic habitats: insights into assimilation of inorganic C, N and S studied with sub-cellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

The assimilation of inorganic compounds in foraminiferal metabolism compared to predation or organic matter assimilation is unknown. Here, we investigate possible inorganic-compound assimilation in Nonionellina labradorica, a common kleptoplastidic benthic ...

Wastewater and green waste biorefinery Degradation of simple sugars using mixed cultures of purple non-sulfur bacteria: an insight into microbial interactions

Guillaume Crosset-Perrotin

Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) are phototrophic organisms that have raised interest for both industrial and domestic wastewater treatment and valorization because of their very high assimilation (~1 g CODX g-1 COD substrate) and valuable compounds produ ...

Kleptoplastidic benthic foraminifera from aphotic habitats: Assimilation (or not) of inorganic C, N, and S studied at sub-cellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

The assimilation of inorganic compounds and their role in the foraminiferal metabolism compared to predation or organic matter assimilation is unknown. Here we investigate these processes with a study of the species Nonionellina labradorica (Dawson, 1860), ...

Management of turbidity current venting in reservoirs under different bed slopes

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun

The lifetime and efficiency of dams is endangered by the process of sedimentation. To ensure the sustainable use of reservoirs, many sediment management techniques exist, among which venting of turbidity currents. Nevertheless, a number of practical questi ...

Synthesis and reactivity of a terminal uranium(IV) sulfide supported by siloxide ligands

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Julie Renée Michelle Andrez

The reactions of the tetrasiloxide U(III) complexes [U(OSi(OtBu)3)4K] and [U(OSi(OtBu)3)4][K18c6] with 0.5 equiv. of triphenylphosphine sulfide led to reductive S-transfer reactions, affording the U(IV) sulfide complexes [SU(OSi(OtBu)3)4K2]2, 1, and [{SU(O ...

Autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrient fluxes in the dinoflagellate-coral symbiosis – A NanoSIMS perspective

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Thomas Krüger, Maoz Fine, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin

The exchange of metabolites between photosynthetic symbionts and their coral host in shallow-water scleractinians provides the nutritional basis for their successful evolution and the existence of massive coral reefs in oligotrophic tropical waters. Autotr ...
