Half of microbial eukaryote literature focuses on only twelve human parasites -in #ISMEJournal by Joanna Lepper, @hbrappap.bsky.social and @oliverio.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...

A team led by JCVI and @scrippsocean.bsky.social have decoded the DNA of a critical algae group found in every ocean. Despite challenges it poses to fishing, tourism, and public health, it plays pivotal role in the ocean food web, climate, and even cloud formation. 🧪🧬 www.jcvi.org/media-center...

Small but important resource announcement out today: Marine microbial mock communities for validating rRNA gene amplicon sequencing journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... @biogeoscapes.bsky.social

Very cool to see marine phytoplankton featured on @npr.org today for the @aaas.org Newcombe Cleveland prize! Congrats all! www.npr.org/2025/03/18/n...

New preprint on integrating phytoplankton pigments with 'omics egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

Finally taking that next step. Email for zoom info if interested.

Ocean Acidification in Coastal Upwelling Regions Shown to Impact Phytoplankton Nutrient Acquisition scripps.ucsd.edu/news/ocean-a...

Scientists fromJCVI and SIO have for the first time shown that increased acidification of ocean water in an upwelling region reduces the availability of iron for phytoplankton, thereby threatening to reduce overall phytoplankton productivity. www.jcvi.org/media-center...

New paper out in Nature Communications today! Short-term acidification promotes diverse iron acquisition and conservation mechanisms in upwelling-associated phytoplankton www.nature.com/articles/s41...
