• Bacterial community composition responds to changes in copepod abundance and alters ecosystem function in an Arctic mesocosm study 

      Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Pree, Bernadette; Leiknes, Øystein; Larsen, Aud; Bratbak, Gunnar; Øvreås, Lise; Egge, Jorun Karin; Spanek, Roman; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Olsen, Yngvar; Vadstein, Olav; Thingstad, T. Frede (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      Combining a minimum food web model with Arctic microbial community dynamics, we have suggested that top-down control by copepods can affect the food web down to bacterial consumption of organic carbon. Pursuing this ...
    • Experiment design and bacterial abundance control extracellular H2O2 concentrations during four series of mesocosm experiments 

      Hopwood, M. J.; Sanchez, Nicolas; Polyviou, Despo; Leiknes, Øystein; Gallego-Urrea, Julian Alberto; Achterberg, Eric P.; Ardelan, Murat Van; Aristegui, Javier; Bach, Lennart T.; Besiktepe, Sengul; Heriot, Yohann; Kalantzi, Ioanna; Terblylk Kurt, Tuba; Santi, Ioulia; Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Turner, David (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The extracellular concentration of H2O2 in surface aquatic environments is controlled by a balance between photochemical production and the microbial synthesis of catalase and peroxidase enzymes to remove H2O2 from solution. ...
    • Fe(II) stability in coastal seawater during experiments in Patagonia, Svalbard, and Gran Canaria 

      Hopwood, Mark J.; Santana-González, Carolina; Gallego-Urrea, Julian Alberto; Sanchez, Nicolas; Achterberg, Eric P.; Ardelan, Murat Van; Gledhill, Martha; González-Dávila, Melchor; Hoffmann, Linn; Leiknes, Øystein; Santana-Casiano, Juana Magdalena; Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Turner, David (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-03)
      The speciation of dissolved iron (DFe) in the ocean is widely assumed to consist almost exclusively of Fe(III)-ligand complexes. Yet in most aqueous environments a poorly defined fraction of DFe also exists as Fe(II), the ...
    • Phenology and Environmental Control of Phytoplankton Blooms in the Kong Håkon VII Hav in the Southern Ocean 

      Kauko, Hanna Maria; Hattermann, Tore; Ryan-Keogh, Thomas J.; Singh, Asmita; de Steur, Laura; Fransson, Agneta; Chierici, Melissa; Falkenhaug, Tone; Hallfredsson, Elvar H.; Bratbak, Gunnar; Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Berge, Terje; Zhou, Qin; Moreau, Sebastien (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Knowing the magnitude and timing of pelagic primary production is important for ecosystem and carbon sequestration studies, in addition to providing basic understanding of phytoplankton functioning. In this study we use ...
    • Simple models combining competition, defence and resource availability have broad implications in pelagic microbial food webs 

      Våge, Selina; Bratbak, Gunnar; Egge, Jorun Karin; Heldal, Mikal; Larsen, Aud; Norland, Svein; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Pree, Bernadette; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Skjoldal, Evy Foss; Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Øvreås, Lise; Thingstad, T. Frede (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09)
      In food webs, interactions between competition and defence control the partitioning of limiting resources. As a result, simple models of these interactions contain links between biogeochemistry, diversity, food web structure ...
