Proteomics Reveals Ocean’s Inner Workings<\/a><\/h3>\nSeptember 4, 2014<\/strong>
\nIn a new study, WHOI scientists have demonstrated how the emerging biomedical technique of measuring proteins-a field called proteomics-can be applied to the ocean to reveal the inner biochemical workings of microbial life and ocean ecosystems.

Psychotherapy for Plankton<\/a><\/h3>\nSeptember 9, 2011<\/strong>
\nGraduate student Erin Bertrand defended her Ph.D. dissertation this week before an advisory committee of scientists. In an article for non-scientists, she explains her research on how essential phytoplankton in the ocean struggle to get enough essential nutrients.

Recycling Rare, Essential Nutrients in the Sea<\/a><\/h3>\nJanuary 10, 2011<\/strong>
\nJust like us, marine bacteria at the base of the ocean food web need iron to live and grow. One key species of bacteria seems to have evolved a way to use iron for photosynthesis by day and then reuse the same iron for different metabolic activities at night.
