Relationships between phytoplankton pigments and DNA- or RNA-based abundances support ecological applications
Abstract. Observations of phytoplankton abundances and community structure are critical towards understanding marine ecosystems. Common approaches to determine group-specific abundances include measur...

A team led by JCVI and @scrippsocean.bsky.social have decoded the DNA of a critical algae group found in every ocean. Despite challenges it poses to fishing, tourism, and public health, it plays pivotal role in the ocean food web, climate, and even cloud formation. 🧪🧬

Very cool to see marine phytoplankton featured on @npr.org today for the @aaas.org Newcombe Cleveland prize! Congrats all! www.npr.org/2025/03/18/n...
A cell pulls off one of the 'Holy Grails' of biotechnology
A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

Scientists fromJCVI and SIO have for the first time shown that increased acidification of ocean water in an upwelling region reduces the availability of iron for phytoplankton, thereby threatening to reduce overall phytoplankton productivity.
