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 ...
EPFL2023Patterns in Microbial Assemblages Exported From the Meltwater of Arctic and Sub-Arctic Glaciers
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 ...
2020High-resolution underwater laser spectrometer sensing provides new insights into methane distribution at an Arctic seepage site
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 ...
Copernicus GmbH2019Kleptoplastidic 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 ...
WILEY2019Wastewater and green waste biorefinery Degradation of simple sugars using mixed cultures of purple non-sulfur bacteria: an insight into microbial interactions
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 ...
2019Kleptoplastidic 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), ...
2018Management 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 ...
Elsevier2017Synthesis 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 ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2016Autotrophic 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 ...
2015Bioenergy in Switzerland: Assessing the domestic sustainable biomass potential
Christian Ludwig, Bernhard Steubing
This paper analyzes the sustainable domestic biomass potential for bioenergy in Switzerland. Relevant biomass resources were selected based on expert interviews and literature analyses. A definition of technical and sustainable biomass potentials was devel ...
