Fish-microbe partnership may influence ocean health by making carbon-trapping minerals

Fish-microbe partnership may influence ocean health by making carbon-trapping minerals

New research reveals a potential link between the gut microbes of a fish and global ocean processes, offering new insight into how marine ecosystems help regulate ocean chemistry and the marine carbon cycle. The study, titled "Symbiotic bacteria may support calcium carbonate precipitation in the Gulf toadfish," is published in the journal PLOS Biology.
