Nitric oxide (NO) is a central molecule of the global nitrogen cycle. A study by Boran Kartal from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, Germany, and colleagues reveals that microorganisms can grow on NO at concentrations that would be lethal to all other lifeforms. Their results, whi...

"Exploring the sponge microbiota of Langseth Ridge as part of the H2020 EU project SponGES"
Methane is not only a powerful greenhouse gas, but also a source of energy. Microorganisms therefore use it for their metabolism. They do so much more frequently and in more ways than was previously assumed, as revealed by a study now published in Nature Microbiology by researchers from the Max P...

"Dynamics and consequences of extracellular superoxide in marine systems"
Dual honour for researchers at the MPI Bremen: Rafael Laso-Pérez and Stefan Becker each receive the MARUM Research Award 2019 for their outstanding dissertations.
Am 13. Februar 2019 ist es soweit: An der Universität Bremen findet der zweite Bremer Ocean Day statt.
For his dissertation "Biocatalytic quantification of laminarin – a major carbohydrate polymer in the ocean" Stefan Becker receives this years' MARUM Research Award. The award is presented to young marine scientists who have written outstanding master's or doctoral theses.
Have you ever heard of the "Magnetic spiral from Greifswald"? Probably not, but most likely you have already encountered it, albeit unknowingly. The magnetic spiral inhabits the muddy bottom of ponds, rivers, lakes and oceans. It is tiny, very fascinating and full of potential. That's why it was ...
For his dissertation "A novel mechanism for the anaerobic degradation of non-methane hydrocarbons in archaea", which he completed with distinction, Rafael Laso-Pérez receives this years' MARUM Research Award.
A plea by 50 international scientists, including MPI Director Rudolf Amann, in the journal Science: Those who make their data available to other researchers without restriction must receive the appropriate recognition.

Convergent evolution of bacterial symbionts interacting with mitochondria in marine protists
Researchers from the Centre Scientifique de Monaco (CSM), the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen and the University of Kiel have succeeded in directly measuring three key parameters necessary for skeleton formation in a live tropical coral. This way, they completely characteri...

"Molecular mechanisms and evolution of animal-algal symbiosis"
The ammonia oxidizing archaea, or Thaumarchaeota, are amongst the most abundant marine microorganisms. Yet, we are still discovering which factors allow them to thrive in the ocean. A research team from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen and the University of Vienna was no...

Benedikt Geier, PhD student in the Department of Symbiosis at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, was awarded this year's MSI Award for his innovative method for visualizing and investigating symbioses.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major cause of global warming. Researchers use complex computer models to calculate the global circulation of this greenhouse gas. The oceans have a major influence on climate regulation. New research now helps to calculate this influence more precisely. These new findin...
