1.
Orellana L, Francis T, Ferraro M, Hehemann J, Fuchs B, Amann R
ISME J
. 2021 Sep;
16(3):630-641.
PMID: 34493810
Marine algae annually sequester petagrams of carbon dioxide into polysaccharides, which are a central metabolic fuel for marine carbon cycling. Diatom microalgae produce sulfated polysaccharides containing methyl pentoses that are...

Francis T, Bartosik D, Sura T, Sichert A, Hehemann J, Markert S, et al.
ISME J
. 2021 Mar;
15(8):2336-2350.
PMID: 33649555
Algal blooms produce large quantities of organic matter that is subsequently remineralised by bacterial heterotrophs. Polysaccharide is a primary component of algal biomass. It has been hypothesised that individual bacterial...

Vidal-Melgosa S, Sichert A, Francis T, Bartosik D, Niggemann J, Wichels A, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2021 Feb;
12(1):1150.
PMID: 33608542
The formation of sinking particles in the ocean, which promote carbon sequestration into deeper water and sediments, involves algal polysaccharides acting as an adhesive, binding together molecules, cells and minerals....

Grieb A, Francis T, Kruger K, Orellana L, Amann R, Fuchs B
Syst Appl Microbiol
. 2020 Jul;
43(4):126088.
PMID: 32690198
Coastal phytoplankton blooms are frequently followed by successive blooms of heterotrophic bacterial clades. The class Flavobacteriia within the Bacteroidetes has been shown to play an important role in the degradation...

Orellana L, Francis T, Kruger K, Teeling H, Muller M, Fuchs B, et al.
ISME J
. 2019 Aug;
13(12):3024-3036.
PMID: 31447484
Since the discovery of archaeoplankton in 1992, the euryarchaeotal Marine Group II (MGII) remains uncultured and less understood than other planktonic archaea. We characterized the seasonal dynamics of MGII populations...

Kruger K, Chafee M, Francis T, Del Rio T, Becher D, Schweder T, et al.
ISME J
. 2019 Jul;
13(11):2800-2816.
PMID: 31316134
We investigated Bacteroidetes during spring algae blooms in the southern North Sea in 2010-2012 using a time series of 38 deeply sequenced metagenomes. Initial partitioning yielded 6455 bins, from which...

Francis T, Kruger K, Fuchs B, Teeling H, Amann R
Syst Appl Microbiol
. 2018 Sep;
42(1):41-53.
PMID: 30193855
Microbial degradation of algal biomass following spring phytoplankton blooms has been characterised as a concerted effort among multiple clades of heterotrophic bacteria. Despite their significance to overall carbon turnover, many...
