FLAPS: The Hidden Forces Driving Ocean Carbon
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,…
How FLA-PS reaveals the hidden
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…
FLA-PS Lighting Up Microbial Secrets
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…
