Have a great week ahead!

[Frontiers - Microbiology @FrontMicrobiol]

Today is #InternationalMicroorganismDay! 🔬

Microorganisms are the unsung heroes of our planet, driving innovation in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology 🦠

Let's celebrate their remarkable contributions and the researchers who study them 👏

Research is needed to come up with adaptive management strategies for red tide or harmful algal blooms (HABs). One of the factors that affects HABs —specifically, their growth and toxins — is the amount of trace metals in the ocean. Link to full paper: https://t.co/7q6q1IGdQL

This work provides a review of #metal and #phytoplankton interactions, with a specific emphasis on pertinent information on the influence of trace nutrients on #growth, #toxinproduction, and other underlying mechanisms related to the dynamics of #HABs.

@seatheline JJ Versola (@jnversola) looked at how not having enough #iron affects how #Symbiodiniaceae (phytoplankton that live inside corals) use #nitrogen and how it might impact its relationship with #corals.

Two of our students showcased their exciting research on Feb 12, 2024, at #Arribada2024: UP MSI Research Fest!

[Inorganic Biogeochem & Biotech Research Laboratory @msi_ibrlab]

Mea Sucgang (@seatheline) studied how different levels of #nitrogen and #iron affect the #growth of #Alexandrium minutum, which causes red tides and produces #toxins that accumulate in #shellfish and make them dangerous to eat.
