The work, in which researchers from the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM) have participated, links genetic data to cell images to better study these bacterial and archaeal groups.

A new study led by researchers at the ICM has revealed that the environment likely influenced the evolution of bacterial predators in the ocean, which are essential for nutrient recycling.

The findings are reported in a study led by ICM researchers that has also demonstrated the metabolic versatility of the deep-sea microbiome by analysing metagenomes collected at a depth of 4,000 metres.

The ICM participates in this project that will contribute to a more precise understanding of the ocean-ice-snow-atmosphere system to deliver improved models that describe polar and global climate.

This is the main conclusion of new study from the ICM and the NCSU that assessed sedimentary environments in the vicinity of the Antarctic Peninsula, a region where temperature increase is 3 times the world average.

This is the main conclusion of a study in which the ICM has participated and warns that gender bias may compromise the ability to effectively solve conservation problems.
