Numerous climatologies are available at different resolutions and cover various parts of the global ocean. Most them have a resolution too low to represent suitably regional processes methods for their construction not able take into account influence physical effects (topographic constraints, boundary conditions, advection, etc.). A high‐resolution atlas temperature salinity is developed northeast Atlantic Ocean on 33 depth levels. The originality this climatology twofold: (1) For data set,...
Abstract. DINEOF (Data Interpolating Empirical Orthogonal Functions) is an EOF-based technique for the reconstruction of missing data in geophysical fields, such as those produced by clouds sea surface temperature satellite images. A to reduce spurious time variability reconstructions presented. The these images within a long series using can lead large discontinuities reconstruction. Filtering temporal covariance matrix allows this and therefore more realistic are obtained. approach tested...

Publicly available genomes are crucial for phylogenetic and metagenomic studies, in which contaminating sequences can be the cause of major problems. This issue is expected to especially important Cyanobacteria because axenic strains notoriously difficult obtain keep culture. Yet, despite their great scientific interest, no data currently concerning quality publicly cyanobacterial genomes. As reliably detecting contaminants a complex task, we designed pipeline combining six methods consensus...

Climate change and nutrient enrichment are increasing the frequency of algal blooms, with sometimes significant impacts on coastal ecosystems. Haslea ostrearia blooms have been documented in oyster ponds not harmful, yet their effects open environments remain underexplored. Marennine, a blue pigment produced by H. ostrearia, can display range biological properties laboratory conditions, including antibacterial allelopathic properties. Other species, forming synthesize bioactive...
The reduction in the intake rate (IR) during interrupted irrigation is difficult to predict. Sediments water decrease effect of on IR. Polyacrylamide (PAM) reduces rill erosion, but its IR controversial. effects quality (tap water, tap containing sediments, and 10 g m −3 PAM solution) flow erosion an Alfisol (Calcic Haploxeralf) a Vertisol (Typic Chromoxerert) were studied using laboratory miniflumes. Rill both soils was eliminated by treatment continuous flow. application reduced increased...
To support small and large-scale genome mining projects, we present Post-processing Analysis tooLbox for ANTIsmash Reports (Palantir), a dedicated software suite handling refining secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) data annotated with the popular antiSMASH pipeline. Palantir provides new functionalities building on NRPS/PKS predictions from antiSMASH, such as improved BGC annotation, module delineation easy access to sub-sequences at different levels (cluster, gene,...
Abstract Background Microbial culture collections play a key role in taxonomy by studying the diversity of their strains and providing well-characterized biological material to scientific community for fundamental applied research. These microbial resource centers thus need implement new standards species delineation, including whole-genome sequencing phylogenomics. In this context, genomic needs Belgian Coordinated Collections Microorganisms were studied, resulting GEN-ERA toolbox. The...

Posidonia oceanica is the only reported seagrass to produce significant amount of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). It also largest known producer DMSP among coastal and inter-tidal higher plants. Here we studied i) weekly seasonal variability depth its related compound dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in P. leaves a non-disturbed meadow Corsica, France, ii) DMSO concentration assess potential DMSP:DMSO ratio as indicator stress, iii) relationships between DMSP, with explanatory variables such...
Efficiency of surface irrigation is often low because poor infiltration uniformity, resulting from relatively long periods at the upstream end and short downstream field. Surge irrigation, intermittent supply water to furrows, generally reduces soil intake rate (IR) improves moisture uniformity over entire However, IR reduction varies one scheme another, depends on properties, difficult predict. A laboratory study using miniflumes was designed investigate effect interrupted flow loss rills....
Blue Haslea species are marine benthic pennate diatoms able to synthesize a blue-green water-soluble pigment, like marennine produced by H. ostrearia Simonsen. New of synthetizing blue pigments were recently described (H. karadagensis, nusantara, provincialis and silbo). Their marennine-like have allelopathic, antioxidative, antiviral antibacterial properties, which been demonstrated in laboratory conditions. Marennine is also responsible for the greening oysters, example, Marennes Oléron...
Macroalgae play a structuring role in benthic ecosystems, which makes it very important to monitor their cover rates and study community structures changes time. Such studies are usually led by autonomous divers often do not generate sufficient data provide enough material for strategically-sound conservation plans. This paper describes the dataset generated framework of evaluation potential complementary acquisition method: annotating videos transects obtained using an underwater Remotely...
