New paper on modeling physical and biological controls on distribution and abundance of the human pathogenic bacterium Vibrio vulnificus. The paper is freely accessible at this link until Feb 20 (available by direct request thereafter).
Nuss E, Powell B, Jerolman C, Nigro OD, Gajigan AP, Giancaterino S, Steward GF. (2025) Simulating Vibrio vulnificus in the Ala Wai Canal using a coupled microbial-hydrodynamic numerical model. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science 313: 109113 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2024.109113
New paper describing the genome of a virus that infects a marine microalga (genus Florenciella). Among the interesting features in the virus genome are a light-sensing rhodopsin gene and the first observation of a ribosomal protein in a eukaryote-infectng virus. Link to press release
