💻📈 P-integration (MINT) from @mixomics.org was crucial in bringing all this data together (this is the largest metagenomics dataset generated to date for the GBR).

I'm curious to see how this approach can be applied to other large-scale reef studies or planktonic snapshots. 🪸🐠🌊

🦠 Seawater heterotrophic microbes likely remineralize particulate organic matter (POM) from picocyanobacteria into dissolved nutrients, recycling essential nutrients to support higher trophic levels in the offshore Great Barrier Reef, playing a critical role in the reef microbial loop.

🌞 Seasonal shifts show nutrient concentrations were 3x higher in summer, linked to increased primary production by picocyanobacteria like Synechococcus.

🧬 Functional genes in seawater microbes proved to be twice as stable than microbial taxonomy in indicating physico-chemical factors like temperature and nutrients.
