Intracellular Nitrate of Marine Diatoms as a Driver of Anaerobic Nitrogen Cycling in Sinking Aggregates
Diatom-bacteria aggregates are key for the vertical transport of organic carbon in the ocean. Sinking aggregates also represent pelagic microniches with intensified microbial activity, oxygen depletion in the center, and anaerobic nitrogen cycling. Since some of the aggregate-forming diatom species store nitrate intracellularly, we explored the fate of intracellular nitrate and its availability...
متن کاملSinking treasure
social engagements. With the Bologna system, everything is fitted to match a 40 hour per week work schedule for the entire year allowing only for 6 weeks of holiday and one week of illness. Many students are now protesting against this reduction of university to a school-like system. Students also protested against tuition fees, which have been introduced only recently in a break with a long tr...
متن کاملCell Migration: Sinking in a Gradient
How chemoattractant gradients form and persist in complex tissues is a key question in cell migration. Two studies now show that CXCR7 acts as a sink in the migrating zebrafish lateral line primordium to generate SDF1 gradients.
متن کاملAged black carbon in marine sediments and sinking particles
We report measurements of oceanic black carbon (BC) to determine the sources of BC to abyssal marine sediments in the northeast Pacific Ocean. We find that the average C age of BC is older (by 6200±2200 C years) than that of the concurrently deposited non-BC sedimentary organic carbon. We investigate sources of aged BC to sediments by measuring a sample of sinking particulate organic carbon (PO...
متن کاملEffect of Type and Concentration of Ballasting Particles on Sinking Rate of Marine Snow Produced by the Appendicularian Oikopleura dioica
Ballast material (organic, opal, calcite, lithogenic) is suggested to affect sinking speed of aggregates in the ocean. Here, we tested this hypothesis by incubating appendicularians in suspensions of different algae or Saharan dust, and observing the sinking speed of the marine snow formed by their discarded houses. We show that calcite increases the sinking speeds of aggregates by ~100% and li...
