FLAPS is a simple way to remember how microbes shape marine food webs and the carbon cycle.It stands for Fungi, Labile DOM, Aggregates, Parasites, and Sinks. It’s a conceptual shortcut used by some marine ecologists to highlight processes that classic “phyto,...
The scooping pond water and instantly knowing every fish, frog, insect, algae, and microbe living there. Metabarcoding makes this possible by reading environmental DNA (eDNA) from a single sample.It includes the following steps, Collect water, soil, or air. Extract...
FLA-PS, which stands for Fluorescent Labelled Polysaccharides, is a technique that allows researchers to observe how microbes break down complex organic molecules in natural environments and helps connect small-scale microbial activity with global ecosystem...
Fluorescent Labelled Polysaccharides (FLA-PS) are a simple but powerful tool to study what microbes are actually doing in their environment. Instead of just identifying which organisms are present, this method helps us see how they interact with organic matter. The...
