Ocean microbes get their diet through a surprising mix of sources, study finds
Up to one-third of the carbon consumed by Prochlorococcus may come from sources other than photosynthesis. Continue reading Ocean microbes get their diet through a surprising mix of sources, study finds
Small eddies play a big role in feeding ocean microbes
Swirling waters replenish nutrients in open ocean, a new study finds, and could mitigate some climate change effects. Continue reading Small eddies play a big role in feeding ocean microbes

Plankton’s Place
According to CBIOMES researchers, predator interactions chiefly determine where Prochlorococcus thrive – a finding that may help researchers hone predictions for where phytoplankton will migrate with climate change. Continue reading Plankton’s Place
