Patterns of phytoplankton size structure and productivity in contrasting open-ocean environments
Emilio Marañón,Patrick M. Holligan,Rosa Barciela,Natalia González,Beatriz Mouriño,M. J. Pazó,Manuel Varela +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that the equatorial upwelling causes an increase in phytoplankton biomass and productivity without altering the typical size structure found in less productive regions such as the subtropical gyres.
High variability of primary production in oligotrophic waters of the Atlantic Ocean: uncoupling from phytoplankton biomass and size structure
TL;DR: Across the wide range of measured primary productivity rates, the persistent dominance of picophytoplankton indicates that the microbial loop and the microbial food web continued to be the most important trophic pathways.
Effect of different non-ionic surfactants on the biodegradation of PAHs by diverse aerobic bacteria
TL;DR: Experiments performed with Tween-80 showed the highest cell density values and maximum specific growth rate and control experiments performed without surfactant showed a significant decrease in biomass growth rate with a subsequent loss of biodegradation activity likely due to a reduced solubility and bioavailability of PAHs in absence of surfactants.

Isolation and genetic identification of PAH degrading bacteria from a microbial consortium
M. Carmen Molina,Natalia González,L. Fernando Bautista,Raquel Sanz,Raquel Simarro,Irene Sánchez,José Luis Sanz +6 more
TL;DR: The present work shows the potential use of these microorganisms and the total consortium for the bioremediation of PAH polluted areas since the biodegradation of these chemicals takes place along with a significant decrease in toxicity.

TL;DR: Time series analysis of a decade of monthly observations in temperate Atlantic coastal waters revealed strong seasonal patterns in the abundance, size and biomass of the ubiquitous flow-cytometric groups of low (LNA) and high nucleic acid (HNA) content bacteria, and found that bacterioplankton cells were significantly smaller, a trend that is consistent with the hypothesized temperature-driven decrease in body size.
