Reaction of DMS and HOBr as a Sink for Marine DMS and an Inhibitor of Bromoform Formation

Urs von Gunten, Boris Droz

Recently, we suggested that hypobromous acid (HOBr) is a sink for the marine volatile organic sulfur compound dimethyl sulfide (DMS). However, HOBr is also known to react with reactive moieties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) such as phenolic compounds t ...

Steep streams on rough beds are generally characterised by supercritical flow conditions under which antidunes can develop and migrate over time. In this paper, we present flume experiments that we conducted to investigate the variability of antidune geome ...

Viral Transfer and Inactivation through Zooplankton Trophic Interactions

Tamar Kohn, Virginie Bachmann, Xavier Fernandez Cassi, Margot Ninon Lauren Olive

Waterborne viruses are responsible for numerous diseases and are abundant in aquatic systems. Understanding the fate of viruses in natural systems has important implications for human health. This research quantifies the uptake of bacteriophage T4 and the ...

Intracellular competition for nitrogen controls dinoflagellate population density in corals

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Maoz Fine, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Maria-Evangelia Giovani

The density of dinoflagellate microalgae in the tissue of symbiotic corals is an important determinant for health and productivity of the coral animal. Yet, the specific mechanism for their regulation and the consequence for coral nutrition are insufficien ...

Heterotrophic Foraminifera Capable of Inorganic Nitrogen Assimilation

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Nitrogen availability often limits biological productivity in marine systems, where inorganic nitrogen, such as ammonium is assimilated into the food web by bacteria and photoautotrophic eukaryotes. Recently, ammonium assimilation was observed in kleptopla ...

Long-term impacts of nutrient control, climate change, and invasive clams on phytoplankton and cyanobacteria biomass in a large temperate river

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

Recent studies suggest that climate change, with warmer water temperatures and lower and longer low flows, may enhance harmful planktic cyanobacterial growth in lakes and large rivers. Concomitantly, controlling nutrient loadings has proven effective in re ...

Over the last century, the level of atmospheric CO2 has increased to the highest concentrations on Earth within the past 800'000 years. Current predictions anticipate that the effects of greenhouse gases will lead to a rise in air temperature ranging betwe ...

Studying carbon dynamics in the coral holobiont provides essential knowledge of nutritional strategies and is thus central to understanding coral ecophysiology. In this study, we assessed the carbon budget in Pocillopora damicornis (usingH13CO3) as a funct ...

A wide range of organisms host photosynthesizing symbionts. In these animals the metabolic exchange between host and symbionts has prevented in situ host anabolic turnover to be studied without the confounding effect of translocated photosynthates. Using t ...
