The Symbiome of Bathymodiolus Mussels from Hydrothermal Vents: From the Genome to the Environment (BathyBiome)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
The discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents in 1977 was one of the most profound findings of the 20th century, revolutionizing our perception of energy sources fueling primary productivity on Earth. These ecosystems are based on chemosynthesis, that is the fixation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds as in photosynthesis, but using inorganic compounds such as sulfide, methane or hydrogen, as ...

Making Sense of Metagenomes (MASEM)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,
Microorganisms are the greatest chemists of our planet. Almost every chemical reaction that is thermodynamically feasible is exploited by these organisms to sustain growth and survival. Together, the actions of microbes comprise the biogeochemical element cycles, a vastly complicated metabolic network that is the basis of all life. Since a few years the metagenomic exploration of this network has ...

"Evolution and ecophysiology of Cand. Riegeria galateiae, the thiotrophic alphaprotebacterial symbiont of a catenulid flatworm" (CARISYM)
Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2014,
"Harnessing chemoautotrophic symbionts is a recurring evolutionary strategy. Eukaryotes from six phyla as well as one archaeon have acquired sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from three groups, Alpha-, Gamma- and Epsilonproteobacteria. The intracellular ‘Cand. Riegeria’ endosymbionts of the mouth and gutless flatworms Paracatenula are the only alphaproteobacterial representatives. They form a family-leve ...

Elemental nitrogen oxidation – A new bacterial process in the nitrogen cycle (Elnox)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
The largest reservoir for nitrogen on earth is the atmosphere that contains 78 percent nitrogen gas. Until now the only known biological process interacting with elemental nitrogen is the bacterial reduction of nitrogen to ammonia for the build up of biomass (nitrogen fixation). This reaction requires energy and is only carried out in the absence of other nitrogen sources, such as ammonia or nitra ...

"In situ monitoring of oxygen depletion in hypoxic ecosystems of coastal and open seas, and land-locked water bodies" (HYPOX)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
"Hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions in aquatic ecosystems increase in number, duration and extent due to global warming and eutrophication. Global warming will lead to degassing of oxygen, increased stratification, reduced deep-water circulation and changes in wind patterns affecting transport and mixing. Projected increases in hypoxia (e.g. doubling of “dead zones”) are accompanied by enhanced emiss ...
