Species-specific diatom dynamics shape their vertical distribution and export during bloom decline
Limnology and Oceanography, 2025, Giering et al.
"We use state-of-the-art in situ imaging, producing high-resolution vertical profiles of phytoplankton and particles, combined with water sampling, to resolve the decline of a Southern Ocean spring bloom. We observed significant vertical and temporal changes in particle and diatom composition and abundance...[the] findings highlight species-specific responses to environmental conditions and implications for carbon processes. Measured values of the apparent photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) suggest that photosynthetically viable diatoms were a significant contributor to export and particle biomass in the upper mesopelagic zone. Our results underscore the importance of understanding individual species dynamics for oceanic carbon and nutrient cycles."
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2025, Fukuda et al.
"Protein aggregation, a major concern in biopharmaceutical quality control, can be accelerated by various stresses during clinical handling. This study investigated potential aggregation risk factors during the dilution process with syringe handling for intravenous administration. Using γ-globulin and IgG solutions as surrogate models of antibody therapeutics, we examined the effects of high sliding speeds and piston operations of the syringe on protein aggregation during saline dilution. Our results revealed that elevated sliding speeds promoted proteinaceous subvisible and/or visible particle formation, which was further enhanced by piston operations."
Separation and Purification Technology, 2025, So et al.
"In this study, efforts have been devoted towards the systematic analysis of microplastic occurrences in urban wastewater treatment facilities using the fluid imaging microscopy (FlowCam) method... These two methods were employed for the comparative analyses of influent and effluent samples from two major urban wastewater treatment facilities in Seoul Metropolitan city... The results demonstrated that ceramic membrane achieved a high permeate flux while effectively removing microplastics from influent wastewater, including previously unidentified microplastics smaller than 20 µm. This study emphasized the potential application of ceramic membrane technology for mitigating microplastics and highlights the advantages of using FlowCam over traditional FTIR analysis for microplastic identification."
