Unravelling the diversity and ecology of a globally abundant marine clade…
Many of the most abundant and widespread bacteria in the oceans are known by alpha-numerical identifiers, such as NS5. In most cases, these names were designated more than a decade or two ago to describe a group of 16S rRNA gene sequences that formed a monophyletic branch on the phylogenetic tree. The NS5 was one…

How are changing conditions in the Arctic Ocean impacting microbial communities?
The Arctic Ocean is dramatically changing as a result of climate warming. One of the key processes that is driving changes in conditions, particularly in the Eurasian Arctic, is an increase in the temperature and volume of Atlantic water flowing northward. The expanding influence of Atlantic water, termed “Atlantification”, has been linked to accelerated rates…
