Gentle giants in trouble Iconic Giant Clams among species added to the IUCN global Red List Surprising Findings on Bacterial Growth as a Threat to Coral Reefs On algae-dominated coral reefs, it is not the algae but the corals themselves that may contribute to the growth of harmful bacteria. Bacterial communities on seagrass leaves suppress waterborne pathogens New GEOMAR study shows high antibiotic potential against marine and human pathogens Shedding Light on the Ocean’s Twilight Zone EU Twinning Project to Investigate Deep-Sea Food Webs around Madeira AI model for aquatic biodiversity In the AqQua project Hereon is involved in monitoring global populations of organisms in water Breathing deep: A metabolic secret of ethane-consuming archaea unraveled Scientists from Bremen, Germany, characterize novel enzymes from deep-sea microbes with a key function in the ethane degradation process. Marine knowledge times two DAM's new transfer portals invite you to dive in and discover Secret life underground: Animal life beneath the seafloor Scientists discovered significant numbers of animals living in cavities and caves below the deep-sea seafloor, some growing up to half a meter of length. Vagabonds and homebodies: Niches of bacterial life in the seabed In the ocean‘s sandy seafloor, bacterial residents have neatly organized their housing space. A bacterium infects deep-sea mussels and multiplies in their cells Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, now reveal how a bacterial parasite infects and reproduces in the nuclei of deep-sea mussels from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. Photosynthesis in near darkness Photosynthesis can take place at extremely low light levels. This is the result of an international study carried out as part of the MOSAiC expedition.
