TL;DR: Saturation state is shown to be the key component of marine carbonate chemistry affecting larval shell development and growth in two commercially important bivalve species.

TL;DR: Testing how pH, PCO2, and saturation state independently affect shell growth and development, respiration rate, and initiation of feeding in Mytilus californianus embryos and larvae found that shell development and growth were affected by aragonite saturation state, and not by pH orPCO2.

TL;DR: Low variable fluorescence, a key diagnostic of iron limitation, results from synthesis of antennae complexes far in excess of what can be accommodated by the iron-restricted pool of photosynthetic reaction centers, and is shown to complete the link between unique molecular consequences ofIron stress in phytoplankton and global detection of iron stress in natural populations from space.

TL;DR: A combination of catalyzed reporter deposition fluorescent in situ hybridization (CARD-FISH) and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed the phylogeny of the cable bacteria and showed that filaments often occurred in bundles and in close association with members of the genera Desulfuromonas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of elevated, oscillating and reduced redox potentials on the fate of primarily aged, mineral-adsorbed organic matter contained in continental shelf sediments were evaluated.
