Scientists Discover Life in Arctic Ice at -15 Degrees Celsius - Bytes Europe
New #research from #Stanford, published last month in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has revealed that #algae can move at #temperatures as low as -15 degrees Celsius.
The algae, a thin layer found in ice of the Arctic polar cap, were previously thought to be trapped or domant and few bothered to study them.

❓ Da gefragt wurde:
Die knusprigen Chips habe ich aus "Sugar Kelp" (Zuckertang) gemacht. Gibt es getrocknet in Tüten zu kaufen.
Heute werde ich selbst auf die Suche gehen, an einem Strand, an dem vor 200 Jahren die junge Botanikerin Ellen Hutchins Seetang sammelte. Wenn auch (vermutlich) nicht zum Verzehr.

Periphyton, that fuzzy layer of attached #algae covering the rocks as you step into the water, is a healthy and critical part of a lake’s food web. Periphyton blooms, however, signal changes that can degrade both #water quality and a shoreline’s natural beauty.

#Fungi may have shaped #Earth’s landscapes long before #plants appeared. By combining rare #gene transfers with fossil evidence, researchers have traced fungal origins back nearly a billion years earlier than expected. These ancient fungi may have partnered with #algae, recycling #nutrients, breaking down #rock, and creating primitive #soils. Fungi were #ecosystem #engineers that prepared Earth’s surface for #plants, fundamentally altering the course of life’s history

Researchers track how #iron deficiency disrupts #photosynthesis in crucial #ocean #algae
"Every other breath you take includes oxygen from the ocean, released from phytoplankton," said Paul G. Falkowski, the Bennett L. Smith Chair in Business and Natural Resources at Rutgers-New Brunswick and a co-author of the study. "Our research shows that iron is a limiting factor in phytoplankton's ability to make oxygen in vast regions of the ocean"
