TLDR
The SML paradigm is discussed, taking into account physicochemical and biological characteristics that define SML structure and function, and previously unpublished time series data on bacterioneuston composition and SML surfactant activity immediately following physical SML disruption are presented.

Bacteria and archaea on Earth and their abundance in biofilms

TL;DR: It is proposed that biofilms drive all biogeochemical processes and represent the main way of active bacterial and archaeal life and are the most prominent and influential type of microbial life.

A comparison of microscopic and spectroscopic identification methods for analysis of microplastics in environmental samples.

TL;DR: St stereomicroscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FT-IR) identification methods for microplastics (<1mm) were compared using the same samples from the sea surface microlayer (SML) and beach sand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiphase chemistry at the atmosphere-biosphere interface influencing climate and public health in the anthropocene.

TL;DR: This work addresses air contaminants and their multiphase chemical interactions at the atmosphere−biosphere interface, including human lungs and skin, plant leaves, cryptogamic covers, soil, and aquatic surfaces, and the chemical interactions of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, as well as carbonaceous combustion aerosols.

Large Accumulation of Micro-sized Synthetic Polymer Particles in the Sea Surface Microlayer

TL;DR: The abundance of microplastics in the SML was evaluated off the southern coast of Korea and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy identified that alkyds and poly(acrylate/styrene) accounted for 81 and 11%, respectively, of the total polymer content of the S ML samples.

The pollution of the marine environment by plastic debris: a review.

TL;DR: The deleterious effects of plastic debris on the marine environment were reviewed by bringing together most of the literature published so far on the topic, and a variety of approaches are urgently required to mitigate the problem.

The ecology of Cytophaga–Flavobacteria in aquatic environments

TL;DR: This paper reviews recent studies that have applied molecular methods to examine uncultured Cytophaga–Flavobacteria in freshwaters and the oceans, with the ultimate goal of using this information to better understand the role of heterotrophic bacteria in carbon cycles and other biogeochemical processes.

Microbial Control of Oceanic Carbon Flux: The Plot Thickens

TL;DR: In his commentary Azam summarizes new work indicating that microbes in the ocean lead much different lives than the authors had supposed, and can have enormous influence on the overall carbon flux in the environment.
