The meromictic lakes and adjacent coastal water bodies of the White Sea region present uniquely stratified ecosystems where pronounced physicochemical gradients foster specialised microbial ...

Bacteria play key roles in degrading organic matter, both in the soil and in aquatic ecosystems. While most bacteria digest large molecules externally, allowing other community members to share and ...

Rainfall can have dramatic effects on the microbial communities living in urban lakes, a new paper published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology reveals. The study, ‘Rainfall’s ripple effect: ...

The algal blooms increasingly seen in Canadian lakes have been linked to both nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff and climate change. However, a new Concordia-led study using DNA sequencing of ...
