Olympia Oyster (Ostrea lurida) populations rapidly declined in Washington over a century ago. Currently, there are efforts by the state of Washington DNR to monitor Ostrea...

Microbial communities that grow on surfaces of solid materials in the presence of water are known as a biofilm. Our observation suggested that the biofilm community sampled from...

The presented experiments confirmed the possibility of inducing different prokaryotic and eukaryotic biofilm communities on microplastics from an initial seawater source by...

Steel marine structures, including shipwrecks, provide foci of biodiversity when they develop into artificial reefs. Development begins with deposition of a biofilm. The effects...

Microplastics have emerged as a new anthropogenic substrate that can readily be colonized by microorganisms. Nevertheless, information of the assembly processes and long-term...

This study explores fundamental ecological questions regarding colonization of animal communities and the role of microbial biofilms in controlling these processes at deepsea...

Hydrophobic Fluortex adsorbents were coated with a thin oil film, placed in field systems and deployed in a marine coastal area near Longyearbyen on Svalbard. Two field...

In this study gut and body surface microbiome of two cryptic gastropod species (Littorina obtusata and Littorina fabalis) as well as environmental biofilm microbiomes from their...

Here, by means of a field experiment, we investigated how the removal of macroalgal canopies favors coral recruitment and influences the structure of epilithic microscopic...

The development of a mature biofouling community on solid surfaces in the marine environment primarily involves the availability of colonizing bacterial communities and their...

Microplastics (PE, PS) and wooden pellets were incubated for 2 weeks along a salinity gradient in the Baltic Sea and river Warnow, Germany. Developing biofilm communities were...

This project aims to investigate the effects of a nutrient gradient associated with mariculture on prokaryotic and eukaryotic components of the marine biofilm community and...

Shallow-water gas/hydrothermal vents are widespread in the world's oceans but remain understudied. In this study, we investigate the microbial communities at Tor Caldara, Italy,...

Within systems as dynamic as the aquatic environment, it is paramount to address the impacts of an ever growing network of emerging pollutants at their intersection. With...

The Iheya North Knoll in the mid-Okinawa Trough is a methane-rich deep-sea hydrothermal field. To cultivate methane-oxidizing bacteria from the Iheya North field, a continuous...

This study identifies prokaryotes that potentially induce or inhibit coral larval settlement

Recognized for its high nutritional value and minimal environmental impact, insect meal (IM) has gradually found its way into fish dietary regimes. However, exceeding 15%...

A 12-year sample archive of DNA from Alaskan arctic tundra ecosystems are available to the Earth Microbiome Project for comparison of microbial diversity across a range of...

The purpose of this study was to explore the structure of the wet market environment and Japanese Mantis Shrimp (JMS) to determine the importance of environmental hygiene in...

Black patinas are a very common deterioration phenomenon of lapideous artworks in outdoor environments. These substrates, exposed to sunlight, atmospheric and environmental...
