• Deep-sea sponge grounds as nutrient sinks: Denitrification is common in boreo-Arctic sponges 

      Rooks, Christine; Fang, James Kar-Hei; Mørkved, Pål Tore; Zhao, Rui; Rapp, Hans Tore; Xavier, Joana R; Hoffmann, Friederike (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-03)
      Sponges are commonly known as general nutrient providers for the marine ecosystem, recycling organic matter into various forms of bioavailable nutrients such as ammonium and nitrate. In this study we challenge this view. ...
    • 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 ...
    • First phytoplankton community assessment of the Kong Håkon VII Hav, Southern Ocean, during austral autumn 

      Kauko, Hanna Maria; Assmy, Philipp; Peeken, Ilka; Rózańska-Pluta, Magdalena; Wiktor, Józef M; Bratbak, Gunnar; Singh, Asmita; Ryan-Keogh, Thomas J.; Moreau, Sebastien (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      We studied phytoplankton and protozooplankton community composition based on light microscopy, flow cytometry, and photosynthetic pigment data in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean during March 2019 (early austral ...
    • On giant shoulders: how a seamount affects the microbialcommunity composition of seawater and sponges 

      Busch, Kathrin; Hanz, Ulrike; Mienis, Furu; Mueller, Benjamin; Franke, Andre; Roberts, Emyr Martyn Tomas; Rapp, Hans Tore; Hentschel, Ute (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Seamounts represent ideal systems to study the influence and interdependency of environmental gradients at a single geographic location. These topographic features represent a prominent habitat for various forms of life, ...
    • Phytoplankton dynamics in contrasting early stage North Atlantic spring blooms: composition, succession, and potential drivers 

      Daniels, Chris; Poulton, Alex J.; Mario, Esposito; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Bellerby, Richard; St. John, Mike; Martin, Adrian P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-24)
      The spring bloom is a key annual event in the phenology of pelagic ecosystems, making a major contribution to the oceanic biological carbon pump through the production and export of organic carbon. However, there is little ...
