Salinity is a major factor controlling the distribution of biota in aquatic systems, and most
aquatic multicellular organisms are either adapted to life in saltwater or freshwater conditions. …

The response of microbial communities to long-term environmental change is poorly understood.
Here, we study bacterioplankton communities in a unique system of coastal Antarctic …

Freshwater bacteria are at the hub of biogeochemical cycles and control water quality in
lakes. Despite this, little is known about the identity and ecology of functionally significant lake …

Chitin is one the most abundant polymers in nature and interacts with both carbon and
nitrogen cycles. Processes controlling chitin degradation are summarized in reviews published …

The elemental composition of marine cyanobacteria is an important determinant of the
ecological stoichiometry in low‐latitude marine biomes. We analyzed the cellular carbon (C), …

In a survey of photochemical transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in lake water,
we found photochemical production of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and low molecular …

The diversity of freshwater bacterioplankton communities has not been extensively studied
despite their key role in foodwebs and the cycling of carbon and associated major elements. …

Bacteria have important roles in freshwater food webs and in the cycling of elements in the
ecosystem. Yet specific ecological features of individual phylogenetic groups and interactions …

High‐molecular‐weight dissolved organic matter is abundant in humic lakes and is a large
potential source of energy for heterotrophic organisms. These substances are hard to …

As new sequencing technologies become cheaper and older ones disappear, laboratories
switch vendors and platforms. Validating the new setups is a crucial part of conducting …
