Sea Grasses And Microbial Communities: A Metabolomic Analyses

Seagrasses evolved from terrestrial plants on at least 3 separate occasions. We know that land plants interact with their microbial communities in their soils to recruit symbionts. In this video, EMILIA SOGIN investigates whether seagrasses also retained their interactions with the microbial communities that live in their sediments.

Conducting metabolomic analyses of sediment porewater as well as incubation experiments and metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis, Sogin notes that seagrasses excrete sugars, in particular sucrose, to their sediments. Further, the microbial communities living in their sediments have a reduced capacity to degrade these sugars.

This research highlights the complex interactions seagrasses develop with their sediment microbial communities and the link to the ability of seagrasses to bury carbon.

How does sexual selection contribute to biodiversity on earth? ASTRID T. GROOT investigates this question using the example of moths. As she explains in this video, in many species, including moths, the most common individuals are chosen as mates and the on

Rather than referring to laws written and developed by the state, judges in Saudi Arabia largely rely on Islamic jurisprudence and the interpretation of sacred texts. In this video, DOMINIK KRELL explores how legal reform can occur in these circumstances.
