J Plankton Res
. 2025 Jan;
47(1):fbae038.
PMID: 39882107
Phagotrophy is a key nutritional mode for many bloom-forming dinoflagellates that can supplement their carbon and nutrient requirements. However, the environmental drivers and ecological relevance of phagotrophy in algal blooms...

Mena C, Deulofeu-Capo O, Forn I, Dordal-Soriano J, Mantilla-Arias Y, Samos I, et al.
ISME Commun
. 2024 Mar;
4(1):ycae004.
PMID: 38425478
The osmotrophic uptake of dissolved organic compounds in the ocean is considered to be dominated by heterotrophic prokaryotes, whereas the role of planktonic eukaryotes is still unclear. We explored the...

Mena C, Reglero P, Balbin R, Martin M, Santiago R, Sintes E
Sci Rep
. 2022 Feb;
12(1):2064.
PMID: 35136122
Microbial community metabolism and functionality play a key role modulating global biogeochemical processes. However, the metabolic activities and contribution of actively growing prokaryotes to ecosystem energy fluxes remain underexplored. Here...

Mena C, Balbin R, Reglero P, Martin M, Santiago R, Sintes E
Sci Rep
. 2021 Sep;
11(1):17859.
PMID: 34504142
Dark ocean microbial dynamics are fundamental to understand ecosystem metabolism and ocean biogeochemical processes. Yet, the ecological response of deep ocean communities to environmental perturbations remains largely unknown. Temporal and...

De Corte D, Muck S, Tiroch J, Mena C, Herndl G, Sintes E
Environ Microbiol
. 2021 Sep;
23(11):7152-7167.
PMID: 34490972
Only about 10%-30% of the organic matter produced in the epipelagic layers reaches the dark ocean. Under these limiting conditions, reduced inorganic substrates might be used as an energy source...

Mena C, Reglero P, Balbin R, Martin M, Santiago R, Sintes E
Front Microbiol
. 2020 Aug;
11:1749.
PMID: 32849378
Surface microbial communities are exposed to seasonally changing environmental conditions, resulting in recurring patterns of community composition. However, knowledge on temporal dynamics of open ocean microbial communities remains scarce. Seasonal...

Mena C, Reglero P, Hidalgo M, Sintes E, Santiago R, Martin M, et al.
Front Microbiol
. 2019 Aug;
10:1698.
PMID: 31396196
The phytoplankton community composition, structure, and biomass were investigated under stratified and oligotrophic conditions during summer for three consecutive years in the Mediterranean Sea. Our results reveal that the phytoplankton...

Environ Microbiol
. 2019 Jul;
21(10):3873-3884.
PMID: 31298776
Messenger RNA can provide valuable insights into the variability of metabolic processes of microorganisms. However, due to uncertainties that include the stability of RNA, its application for activity profiling of...

Promoting and Implementing the Mediterranean Diet in the Southern Hemisphere: the Chilean Experience
Echeverria G, Dussaillant C, McGee E, Mena C, Nitsche M, Urquiaga I, et al.
Eur J Clin Nutr
. 2018 Nov;
72(Suppl 1):38-46.
PMID: 30487560
Increasing scientific evidence shows that the Mediterranean lifestyle -including a characteristic dietary pattern as well as psychosocial and cultural features- has beneficial effects on human health. However, production and use...
