New year, new publications! Have a look into this complete dataset of metabarcodes and metagenomes in coastal areas of France and Chile www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Have a look into this new publication, led by Pauline Le Coq and Christian Tamburini @ctambu.bsky.social with Lomic participation of Mireille Pujo-Pay and Olivier Crispi. How do particle-attached microbes contribute to the mesopelagic carbon budget? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New Lomic publication! Latitudinal Diversity in Circadian and Light-Sensing Genes in an Ecologically Vital Group of Marine Picoeukaryote Algae academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...

Pénélope Dégardin starts her PhD at LOMIC. She is interested in algicidal bacteria, who are these microbes, and what is their effect on phytoplankton dynamics and carbon cycling in the ocean. Welcome Pénélope!

We welcome Alizée Berthelot to LOMIC! During her PhD, she will study how glacial iron is available to phytoplankton and prokaryotic communities

We have a new Dr. in the room! Rhea Thoppil brilliantly defended her PhD thesis "Microbial strategies for glacial iron acquisition in the Southern Ocean". Congratulations and all the best in your next steps!!

The @lomicumr7621.bsky.social is present at the @same18-bcn.bsky.social these days, sharing our results on nitrogen and iron cycling, ocean microbes over space and time. Also a great opportunity to network, talk science and meet friends!

New @lomicumr7621.bsky.social publication! Have a look on how DOM changes its composition and properties through the year in the NW Mediterranean Sea

Do you want to learn about temporal dynamics of planktonic fungi in the Bay of Banyuls, NW Mediterranean? Read our new publication led by Emile Laymand enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/YME5MD...

New @lomicumr7621.bsky.social publication! Here you can learn how the Cyanobacterial diazotroph Crocosphaera watsonii deals with P limitation in marine environments enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/SHFBD2...

Christel Hassler, from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, came visit us and gave a fantastic seminar entitled "Unique features of the Southern Ocean relevant to the biological carbon pump and to iron biogeochemistry"

Louis Dennu defended his PhD ‘The pangenome of Bathycoccus prasinos: Towards an understanding of latitudinal and seasonal adaptation’. He was great! Congratulations and all the best to the new Dr.

Camila Fernández and many other @lomicumr7621.bsky.social members were present at the @unoceandecade.bsky.social One Ocean Science Congress in Nice, communicating our contribution to a better ocean

👩‍🔬 La Dra. Camila Fernández, directora de COPAS Coastal, participó del One Ocean Science Congress (OOSC) donde expuso sobre nuestro Centro de Interpretación Ambiental y Turístico en Caleta Tortel. Además, se presentaron los primeros resultados de la expedición CEODOS Chile TARA Microbiomes.⁣⁣..👇

The Lomic Day, a great opportunity to see the ongoing studies in our lab and to share a nice moment all together under the sun!!

#CNRSocean 🌊 Pour la première fois, une conférence scientifique précède la conférence de l'ONU sur l’océan. L' #OOSC, du 3 au 6 juin à Nice, réunira 2 200 experts pour formuler des recommandations clés qui seront remises à l’ #UNOC3.

We were present during the @obs-banyuls.fr scientific days that took place in Argeles cinema. Let the show begin!

We welcome Dr. Denisse Sánchez Pérez, researcher at CICIMAR in Baja California, for a three week stay in our lab. She aim to determine the temporal and seasonal variability of dissolved organic matter quality and plankton in the bay of la Paz

Come hear Stéphane Blain talk about the history of research expeditions in Kerguelen Islands, May 14th 6pm at the @obs-banyuls.fr

Spring bloom of master1 students that do their internship at @lomicumr7621.bsky.social. From left to right, Camille (Arctic plankton), Margot (algicidal bacteria), Marine (iron limitations), Samuel (water mass exchanges), Shane (plastic pollution) and Joseph (Arctic bacteria strains)

Jean-François Ghiglione, from @lomicumr7621.bsky.social , leads the publication of a special issue in Environmental Science and Pollution Research on the sources and fate of plastic litters from Rivers to Seas. Check it out!!! link.springer.com/collections/...

Check out our new publication on the relationship between diversity and function in natural ecosystems! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This week we had the kickoff meeting of the ANR Project PIANO (PI Ingrid Obernosterer) that will study the response of microbes to Antarctic ice sheet melting. Stay tuned for new polar adventures!

There is a big event coming in June! The one ocean science conference 2025 in Nice. Rhea Thoppil, phD candidate at LOMIC, will be one of the ECOP Insiders, multilingual ECR selected to observe and amplify the key scientific messages shared during the event one-ocean-science-2025.org/ecop_insider...

New @lomicumr7621.bsky.social paper out. Here you can learn which bacteria are the main degraders of PHB plastic doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...

The Phd days are taking place these days at the @obs-banyuls.fr with the participation of LOMIC students. A great opportunity to discover the awesome ECR we have at Banyuls!

#FemmesEnSciences | À l’occasion de la Journée internationale des femmes et filles de science, les trois coordinatrices de l’ouvrage "Le Genre en recherche" font le point sur la place des femmes en science en France. www.cnrs.fr/fr/actualite...

Do not miss it, today it is the international day of women and girl in science! www.un.org/fr/observanc...
