14.03.2011 Algae in darkness – Survival strategy unraveled
Mar 14, 2011
The world’s oceans teem with unicellular algae that carry out photosynthesis in the sunlight. It has been known for some time that the particularly abundant diatoms (unicellular algae with a silicate frustule) are also able to survive in the dark bottom of the ocean, where neither photosynthesis ...

more ... 10.12.2008 Tiny knights in shining armor – bacteria detoxify deadly seawater
Some marine bacteria produce hydrogen sulphide, which is toxic to animals. Scientists now discovered that bacteria also protect marine animals from this toxic gas. A bacterial bloom detoxified a vast expanse of hydrogen sulphide-containing water off the coast of Namibia, before it could unfold it...
