Global radiation in a rare biosphere soil diatom

Tyler Joe Kohler

Soil micro-organisms drive the global carbon and nutrient cycles that underlie essential ecosystem functions. Yet, we are only beginning to grasp the drivers of terrestrial microbial diversity and biogeography, which presents a substantial barrier to under ...

Sources, Transformation, and Fate of Dissolved Organic Matter in the Gravel Bar of a Prealpine Stream

Tom Ian Battin

Gravel bars (GBs) are hotspots of biogeochemical activity, likely impacting carbon dynamics instreams and rivers. However, it remains unclear how GBs process dissolved organic matter (DOM) receivedfrom stream water and groundwater. Here we investigate the ...

Carbon turnover and microbial activity in an artificial soil under imposed cyclic drainage and imbibition

Tatjana Milojevic

Water table fluctuations generate temporally and spatially dynamic physicochemical conditions that drive biogeochemical hot spots and hot moments in the vadose zone. However, their role in the cycling of soil C remains poorly known. Here, we present result ...

Linking transformations of organic carbon to post-treatment performance in a biological water recycling system

Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé, Eva Reynaert

Ozone, electrolysis and granular activated carbon (GAC) were examined as potential post-treatments to followa household-scale biologically activated membrane bioreactor (BAMBi), treating a wash water containing trace urine and feces contamination. Each pos ...

Towards simple tools to assess functional effects of contaminants on natural microbial and invertebrate sediment communities

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Maria del Carmen Casado Martinez, Sophie Campiche

Surface sediments can accumulate contaminants that affect microorganisms and invertebrates and disturb benthic ecological functions. However, effects of contaminants on ecological functions supported by sediment communities are understudied. Here, we teste ...

A method to disentangle and quantify host anabolic turnover in photosymbiotic holobionts with subcellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Emma Mary Gibbin, Guilhem Maurice Louis Banc-Prandi, Arnaud Comment, Maoz Fine

A wide range of organisms host photosynthesizing symbionts. In these animals the metabolic exchange between host and symbionts has prevented in situ host anabolic turnover to be studied without the confounding effect of translocated photosynthates. Using t ...

Methylation of arsenic by single-species and soil-derived microbial cultures

Karen Elda Viacava Romo

Arsenic (As) is simultaneously a ubiquitous and a toxic element. Arsenic is subject to bio-transformations catalyzed by microorganisms constituting the As biogeochemical cycle. The primordial Earth was devoid of oxygen, exposing life to the highly mobile a ...

Response of N2O production rate to ocean acidification in the western North Pacific

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider

Ocean acidification, induced by the increase in anthropogenic CO2 emissions, has a profound impact on marine organisms and biogeochemical processes1. The response of marine microbial activities to ocean acidification might play a crucial role in the future ...

Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Production and Export by Meridional Overturning in the Eastern Subpolar North Atlantic

Bieito Fernandez Castro

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is produced in the surface and exported towards the deep ocean, adding similar to 2 PgC/year to the global carbon export. Due to its central role in the Meridional Overturning Circulation, the eastern subpolar North Atlantic ...

Microbially Mediated Release of As from Mekong Delta Peat Sediments

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Karen Elda Viacava Romo, Yuheng Wang, Luca Loreggian, Maria Pilar Asta Andres

Peat layers within alluvial sediments are considered effective arsenic (As) sinks under reducing conditions due to the binding of As(III) to thiol groups in natural organic matter (NOM) and the formation of As-bearing sulfide phases. However, their possibl ...

Chlorinated ethene plume evolution after source thermal remediation: Determination of degradation rates and mechanisms

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Alexandra Marie Murray, Jérémy Zimmermann

The extent, mechanism(s), and rate of chlorinated ethene degradation in a large tetrachloroethene (PCE) plume were investigated in an extensive sampling campaign. Multiple lines of evidence for this degradation were explored, including compound-specific is ...

Effects of Sphagnum Leachate on Competitive Sphagnum Microbiome Depend on Species and Time

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Constant Signarbieux, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Samuel Thomas Gabriel Hamard

Plant specialized metabolites play an important role in soil carbon (C) and nutrient fluxes. Through anti-microbial effects, they can modulate microbial assemblages and associated microbial-driven processes, such as nutrient cycling, so to positively or ne ...
