"Historically, scientists have focused on viruses in the ocean for their role ... We demonstrated in this paper about phytoplankton and bacteria that using this device is more efficient and ...

Among them was FloV-SA2, which infects a species of phytoplankton called Florenciella. "Chris was so productive at isolating viruses, he could not analyze them all before he left," said Grieg ...

The two most prominent types of plankton in the ocean are zooplankton, which are tiny animal organisms, and phytoplankton, which are plantlike. (Other forms of plankton include bacterial and fungal.

“Instead of infecting humans, these are viruses that could potentially infect phytoplankton,” said Lim. Understanding these viruses could allow scientists to predict and potentially control ...

Now, new investigations have revealed that the highly intelligent marine mammals may have starved because their hunting grounds were destroyed by a phytoplankton bloom produced by human activity.

Investigations have now revealed that the dolphins may have starved because key habitats for nutritious prey were destroyed by a phytoplankton bloom. This bloom was driven by the accumulation in ...

Photo Ash erupts high into the atmosphere from Kilauea in 2018. A new study found the eruption sparked a massive phytoplankton bloom that sequestered much of the carbon released during the eruption.

Climate driven shifts in phytoplankton dominance can influence carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions. Marine phytoplankton is of great importance for climate regulation, contributing ...

A new study by an international team of researchers revealed that a rare and large summertime phytoplankton bloom in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre in the summer of 2018 was prompted by ash ...
