#Urea: The Hidden Fuel for Ocean Microbes 🦠🌊 Study in @natcomms.nature.com shows how #ammonia-oxidizing #archaea thrive in nutrient-poor waters: Urea is a major energy source for #AOA in the open #ocean, while coastal AOA prefer #ammonium. www.mpi-bremen.de/en/Urea-The-...

New preprint! We explore how gutless marine worms and their bacterial symbionts use organosulfur compounds like DMSP and DMS - key molecules in marine sulfur cycling. Our results show that these compounds support carbon and energy metabolism in the Olavius algarvensis symbiosis.

The 2025 #CAPSOLUTION expedition is finished! To sample microbes from 31 mountain lakes across the Alps, we drove 5400 km, hiked 130 km and climbed 10,000 m with our gear, braved snow- and thunderstorms, and filtered 4000 L of water. Well done everyone!! @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu

Great job #CAPSOLUTION Team @fischerlab.bsky.social , we can't wait to welcome you back! 🏔️🥾

Arctic viruses follow the rhythm of the sea 🌊🦠 Just published in @natcomms.nature.com 🎯🙂 doi.org/10.1038/s414... Press release: www.geomar.de/en/news/arti... Great collaboration between @geomarkiel.bsky.social @awi.de @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social — our HAUSGARTEN Observatory goes viral 🙃

Our next set of mountain lakes is located in Italy's Adamella Brenta Nature Park. Lago Serodoli (2370 m elevation) is just downstream of Lago Gelato (2388 m), which lived up to its name and made us shiver with ice-cold winds. #CAPSOLUTION @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu

The last two lakes in the High Tauern that we sampled were Dösener See (2270 m elevation, up to 44 m deep), and the shallow Stappitzer See (1273 m elevation) that serves as a contrast point to the mountain lakes above the treeline. #CAPSOLUTION @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu
