Mixed-layer lipidomes suggest offshore transport of energy-rich and essential lipids by cyclonic eddies by Kevin W. Becker, Quentin Devresse, Xavier Prieto-Mollar, Kai-Uwe Hinrichs, Anja Engel

“…The eddy lipid signature with energy-rich triacylglycerols and essential fatty acid-containing membrane lipids of eukaryotic phytoplankton origin was further significantly different from the ambient waters. Strong variability in lipid distributions within the eddy was related to differences in microbial community composition. …”

Possibility of using the SBE profilometer data for calibration of satellite data on concentration of chlorophyll <i>a</i> in the Japan Sea by Sergey P. Zakharkov, Yulianna V. Shambarova, Tatyana N. Gordeychuk, Inna V. Stonik, Elena A. Shtraikhert

“…Inclination of regression between the data measured by two methods (ratio fluorescence : concentration) varies between the areas, as well - from 0.76 above the continental slope of middle Primorye to 1.70 at Kito-Yamato Bank. This variability is reasoned by variations of both oceanographic conditions and species composition of phytoplankton. …”

Exploring the potential of the COI gene marker for DNA barcoding of planktonic foraminifera by Ana Carolina Bercini Gusmao, Robin L. van Dijk, Elsa B. Girard, Katja T. C. A. Peijnenburg, Jan Macher, Michal Kucera, Raphaël Morard

“…While the small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU) is a powerful tool to describe protist diversity, its reliability in retrieving the composition of communities is less obvious. It is particularly challenging to obtain quantitative estimates of abundance in planktonic foraminifera, where the variability of the SSU gene copy number can span three orders of magnitude. …”
