Reefs change their environment in a multitude of ways, even the microbes around them. Microbial life responds to the benthic structure, forming daily patterns that repeat and influence how energy and nutrients move through the reefal ecosystem. 🧪🌊 Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

#MattersMicrobial !! #microsky

Our #microbiome is us. We are holobionts, as Lynn Margulis understood. Thinking must be ecological, for every complex being is an ecology, as well as living in one. #microbiotoxicity, the threat of damage to microbes, has to be on regulatory agendas www.theguardian.com/environment/...

#KnowledgeByte: Our good #Health relies on a vast network of microbes that call us home. These microorganisms, such as bacteria, are collectively known as our ‘#Microbiome’. knowledgezone.co.in/trends/explo...

When sunlight returns in spring, long days and nutrients drive intense blooms. There was a question of nutrient sources, but now we know that some nitrogen is provided by bacteria. https://scitechdaily.com/we-were-wrong-scientists-find-hidden-phenomenon-that-could-trigger-marine-life-boom/

🧊🦠 Marine biologists at the University of Copenhagen found nitrogen-fixing bacteria living under Arctic sea ice, where scientists previously thought conditions were too harsh for these organisms to survive. #climate #science 👉 www.sciencealert.com/impossi...

Nitrogen fixation by bacteria under Arctic sea ice, even in its most central regions: Nitrogen gas dissolved in seawater is converted into ammonium that boosts algae & many organisms throughout the marine food web. Melting ice may result in a boost to marine life 🧪🧊🌊 scitechdaily.com/we-were-wron...

Did you know? #Biobanks can help study, preserve and protect our #biodiversity - and also help us research diseases and genetic abnormalities in humans, livestock and more. But no, they aren’t part of a conspiracy to track your DNA or resurrect dinosaurs. Probably. bbsa.org.za/2022/11/17/f...

Did you know? Marine bacteria such as Vibrio fischeri can form bioluminescent biofilms. These bacteria can form symbiotic relationships with hosts like the Hawaiian bobtail squid, and the glow can help camouflage the squid from its prey! @ukbiofilms.bsky.social #BiofilmCreate #BiofilmAware

Marine microbes are cool!!
