Guardians of the beach: How hidden microbes protect coastal waters amid climate change
Pore ​​water samples were collected from a high-energy beach subsurface estuary in Stinson Beach, California, USA, over a 2-week spring tidal transition period during both the wet and dry seasons. Changes in microbial community composition analyzed by V4 16S rRNA gene sequencing were contextualized by extensive hydrological and physicochemical measurements. The vertical depth structure of the assemblage remained consistent throughout…

The role of microbes in planetary health must not be overlooked, scientists warn
The Tree of Life and Microbial Contributions to Earth’s Biomass. Credit: Cell (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2024.07.051 The tiniest and most ancient organisms on and inside Earth have a big role to play in ensuring a sustainable future for our planet, argues an international team of scientists, including professor-researchers from Ohio State University, in a new Cell journal article published today. Microbes…
