Microbiome development: Bacteria lay the foundations for their descendants
The microbiome (the symbiotic community of microbial organisms of a host) is of existential importance for the functioning of every plant and animal, including human beings. A research team from…
Climate change in the North Atlantic can be seen in the deep ocean
North Atlantic circulation reduced little Ice Age cooling. Evidence of climate change in the North Atlantic during the last 1,000 years can be seen in the deep ocean, according to…
Much more than waste
Tiny vesicles exchange genetic information between cells in the sea. Researchers around Susanne Erdmann from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen take a look at data that…
