Can we use H isotope offsets among lipids as proxies of algal community composition? New paper led by Antonia Klatt shows that changes with community throughout a year in Rotsee aren similar results from cultures and indicate minimal influence from heterotrophs: doi.org/10.1016/j.gc...

Back in 2019 we screened an obscure lineage of bacteria for a side project and noticed something quite unusual. A quinone, used in cellular electron transport, that looked similar to the type used by plants and algae to perform photosynthesis.
