Kleptoplast distribution, photosynthetic efficiency and sequestration mechanisms in intertidal benthic foraminifera
Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin, Michael Kühl
Foraminifera are ubiquitously distributed in marine habitats, playing a major role in marine sediment carbon sequestration and the nitrogen cycle. They exhibit a wide diversity of feeding and behavioural strategies (heterotrophy, autotrophy and mixotrophy) ...
SPRINGERNATURE2021Microfluidic culture platforms for C. elegans bacterial interaction and digestion studies at single-organism resolution
Increasing interest in understanding fundamental biological processes, among which aging and nutrition, has led to the study of simple and powerful model organisms, as the round-worm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). The nematode, selected by Sydney Bre ...
EPFL2021Effect of temperature and feeding on carbon budgets and O2 dynamics in Pocillopora damicornis
Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby, Michael Kühl
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 ...
2020Viral 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 ...
2020Bio-optical properties and radiative energy budgets in fed and unfed scleractinian corals (Pocillopora sp.) during thermal bleaching
Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby, Michael Kühl
Corals live in symbiosis with algal dinoflagellates, which can achieve outstanding photosynthetic energy efficiencies in hospite approaching theoretical limits. However, how such photosynthetic efficiency varies with environmental stress remains poorly kno ...
2019Cellular ultrastructure in benthic foraminifera: general observations and focus on kleptoplasts.
Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin
Research of the past few decades has revealed a great variability of metabolisms (e.g. adaptation to different microhabitats, feeding strategies, symbiosis, survival to stressful conditions) among benthic foraminiferal species. This metabolic variety is re ...
2018Modeling Hydraulic Transport and Anaerobic Uptake by PAOs and GAOs During Wastewater Feeding in EBPR Granular Sludge Reactors
Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt
New-generation bioprocesses using granular sludge aim for a high-rate removal of nutrients from wastewater with low footprint. Achieving enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) relies on the design of sludge beds and wastewater feeding conditions to ...
Wiley-Blackwell2017Feeding behaviour of a benthic species (Ammonia tepida) under oxic and anoxic conditions: TEM-NanoSIMS correlation
Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin
More and more marine areas are subjected to depleted-O2 concentration, mainly due to eutrophication induced by human activities. These phenomena affect benthic ecosystems, in particular continental shelves and coastal areas where the renewal of the bottom ...
2015Peptone Supplementation of Culture Medium Has Variable Effects on the Productivity of CHO Cells
Florian Maria Wurm, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Fatemeh Davami
The optimization of cell culture conditions for growth and productivity of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells is a critical step in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. In the present study, the effects of the timing and amount of peptone feeding of ...
2014Energetic Macroscopic Representation of a Hybrid Elevator – Considerations on Strategies for Energy Management
Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade
Accumulators are inserted on the DC bus of a conventional elevator, to increase its efficiency and limit the power demand on the main feeding grid. In the process that enable the identification of the control of such a system, The Energetic Macroscopic Rep ...
