Highly 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 ...

Microbiological contamination of cosmetic products - observations from Europe, 2005-2018

Florentino Luciano Caetano Dos Santos

Background Although cosmetic products are not expected to be fully aseptic, their potential microbiological contamination might be dangerous, especially for immunocompromised patients. The extent of such contamination of cosmetics in Europe is poorly studi ...
