Bacteria collaborate to propel the ocean 'engine'Warwick UK (SPX) Jul 07, 2017 Essential microbiological interactions that keep our oceans stable have been fully revealed for the first time, by researchers at the University of Warwick. Dr Joseph Christie-Oleza and Professor David Scanlan from the School of Life Sciences have discovered that two of the most abundant types of microorganism in the oceans - phototrophic and heterotrophic bacteria - collaborate to cycle nutrients, consequently, drawing carbon from the atmosphere and feeding the ecosystem. This is contrary t ... read more |
