Ocean acidification accelerates Nitrogen cycling on seagrass leaves
Read about Nitrogen cycling on seagrass leaves and what may happen with the predicted acidification of our future oceans.
Symbiomes in aquatic plants sediments
In a commentary wrote together with Sairah Malkin from the University of Maryland, we discuss a recent paper by Scholz et al. (2021) investigating the association between the rhizospheres of aquatic vegetation and cable bacteria.
Zebra mussel holobionts fix and recycle nitrogen
We assessed the impact of zebra mussels on Nitrogen processes in laboratory incubations designed to discern the impact of the microbiome and to quantitatively assess their relevance at the benthic scale.
Harmony between bacteria and an alien marine plant
We demonstrate the importance of diazotrophs in sustaining primary productivity of the invasive marine plant Halophila stipulacea.
Chemosynthetic symbionts can fix atmospheric nitrogen
Using omics and stable isotopes, we show that the sulfur-oxidizing symbionts of invertebrate animals are also capable of nitrogen fixation.
Why some bacteria are good: the example of corals
Within the project CANCOR, we show that corals rely on nitrogen provided by diazotrophic bacteria when other sources are scarce.
