Phycologists have many reasons to measure growth rates of algae in culture. In evolutionary
studies, for instance, the population growth rate of an asexually dividing culture can be …

Metagenomic sequence data from defined mock communities is crucial for the assessment
of sequencing platform performance and downstream analyses, including assembly, binning …

To better understand the biogeography and relationship between temperature and community
structure within microbial mats, the bacterial diversity of mats at a slightly alkaline, sulfide-…

Microorganisms perform countless tasks on Earth and they are expected to be essential for
human space exploration. Despite the interest in the responses of bacteria to space …

Microbial mats containing the filamentous anoxygenic photosynthetic bacterium Chloroflexus
aggregans develop at Nakabusa hot spring in Japan. Under anaerobic conditions in these …

As humans explore and settle in space, they will need to mine elements to support industries

In marine Synechococcus there is evidence for the adaptive evolution of spectrally distinct
forms of the major light harvesting pigment phycoerythrin (PE). Recent research has …

Previously we proposed one aspect of how insects could adapt to terrestrial environments
during their evolution. The hypothesis is based on a theory that insects have evolved an insect…

The cyanobacteria P rochlorococcus and S ynechococcus are important marine primary
producers. We explored their distributions and covariance along a physico‐chemical gradient …
