A new study by researchers at BIOS and other research institutions reveals that corals also have an impact on the microbes in waters surrounding them
Read MoreA Microbial “Whodunit”
BIOS-SCOPE scientists go to sea to catch microbes and marine life as they transform organic matter in the ocean
Read MoreSmall Change, Big Improvement: Modified Method Captures the Ocean’s Most Abundant Organism
BIOS researchers realized that the ubiquitous, ecologically important marine bacterium “SAR11″ was getting short-changed in bacterial census data. With collaborators, they improved a common DNA-based method for measuring bacterial diversity in marine environments
Read MoreResearch Reveals Patterns in Viruses that Attack Cyanobacteria
A team of researchers found that even marine viruses have a distinct biogeography, showing that Bermuda’s geographic isolation has resulted in a different community of cyanophages even in the fluidity of an oceanic environment
