Genome-resolved metagenomic analysis of Great Amazon Reef System sponge-associated Latescibacterota bacteria and their potential contributions to the host sponge and reef by Rafael S. Oliveira, Otávio H. B. Pinto, Betania F. Quirino, Betania F. Quirino, Betania F. Quirino, Mayanne A. M. de Freitas, Fabiano Lopes Thompson, Cristiane Thompson, Ricardo H. Kruger

“…Additionally, genes linked to persistent organic pollutant degradation, including glyphosate, and biogeochemical cycles reactions, such as ammonification, sulfate reduction, thiosulfate disproportionation, phosphorus remineralization, and complex organic matter degradation, were identified, suggesting the participation of these Latescibacterota in bioremediation and nutrient cycling. Finally, the investigated MAGs contain genes for numerous bioactive compounds, including industrial enzymes, secondary metabolites, and biologically active peptides, which may have biotechnological value.…”

DeepLOKI- a deep learning based approach to identify zooplankton taxa on high-resolution images from the optical plankton recorder LOKI by Ellen Oldenburg, Ellen Oldenburg, Raphael M. Kronberg, Barbara Niehoff, Oliver Ebenhöh, Oliver Ebenhöh, Ovidiu Popa

“…Zooplankton play a crucial role in the ocean’s ecology, as they form a foundational component in the food chain by consuming phytoplankton or other zooplankton, supporting various marine species and influencing nutrient cycling. The vertical distribution of zooplankton in the ocean is patchy, and its relation to hydrographical conditions cannot be fully deciphered using traditional net casts due to the large depth intervals sampled. …”
