Coupling between the thermohaline, chemical and biological fields during summer 2006 in the northeast continental shelf of the Gulf of Cádiz (SW Iberian Peninsula)
The coupling between the thermohaline, chemical and biological variables on the northeast continental shelf of the Gulf of Cádiz was determined during the Emigas I survey in summer 2006. Samples were collected to chemically characterize the different water types and to analyze the chlorophyll a distribution. Four different water masses were identified: North Atlantic Central Water (NACW), Surfa...
متن کاملReport of a Physical Oceanography Research Project over the Southern Continental Shelf of the Caspian Sea
Abstract The study presents monthly variations of seawater properties, monitoring water column stability and stratification over the southern shelf of the Caspian Sea which depends on collecting data. Field measurements were carried out during 13 cruises along the southern boundary of the sea. Spatial and temporal distributions of temperature, salinity and density were investigated. Monthl...
متن کاملAtmospheric aerosols alter oceanic activity
Atmospheric aerosols alter oceanic activity Oceans remain a key convergence point where anthropogenic and natural environmental effects can affect climate change and alter food chains. For example, mineral dust, soot, organic molecules, and other microscopic particles can become aerosolized in the atmosphere and provide nutrients and trace metals for phytoplankton in the open ocean.

متن کاملStrong Genome-Wide Selection Early in the Evolution of Prochlorococcus Resulted in a Reduced Genome through the Loss of a Large Number of Small Effect Genes
The smallest genomes of any photosynthetic organisms are found in a group of free-living marine cyanobacteria, Prochlorococcus. To determine the underlying evolutionary mechanisms, we developed a new method to reconstruct the steps leading to the Prochlorococcus genome reduction using 12 Prochlorococcus and 6 marine Synechococcus genomes. Our results reveal that small genome sizes within Prochl...
متن کاملStudy of optimal conditions in order to the use of the cyanobacteria Synechococcus sp. ISC106 as a candidate for biodiesel production
Global warming due to fossil fuel, price increases, environmental pollution resulting from their use and production green house gases caused scientists trying to produce proper fuel, renewable of replacing fossil fuels. The purpose of this study was to determine the conditions of survival, growth, pigments and fatty acid profiles to biodiesel production from cyanobacteria Synechococcus ISC 106 ...
