• Adding zooplankton to the OSMAC toolkit: Effect of grazing stress on the metabolic profile and bioactivity of a diatom 

      Osvik, Renate Døving; Ingebrigtsen, Richard Andre; Norrbin, Fredrika; Andersen, Jeanette Hammer; Eilertsen, Hans Christian; Hansen, Espen Holst (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-03)
      “One strain many compounds” (OSMAC) based approaches have been widely used in the search for bioactive compounds. Introducing stress factors like nutrient limitation, UV-light or cocultivation with competing organisms has successfully been used in prokaryote cultivation. It is known that diatom physiology is affected by changed cultivation conditions such as temperature, nutrient concentration and ...
    • Impact of Microsetella norvegica on carbon flux attenuation and as a secondary producer during the polar night in the subarctic Porsangerfjord 

      Mooney, Benjamin Paul; Iversen, Morten Hvitfeldt; Norrbin, Fredrika (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-13)
      It is known that Microsetella norvegica feed on phytoplankton and provide an important link to higher trophic levels in Arctic fjords, such as fish sprat (Sprattus sprattus) and three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus). It has recently been suggested that M. norvegica may also contribute substantially to carbon flux attenuation during periods of high abundance. However, we still know very ...
    • Spatial occurrence and abundance of marine zooplankton in Northeast Greenland 

      Beroujon, Théo; Schou Christiansen, Jørgen; Norrbin, Fredrika (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-20)
      We present a large-scale survey of mesozooplankton (size range 0.2–20 mm) across coastal, shelf, and slope locations in Northeast Greenland (latitudes 74–79° N, August 2015 and September 2017). Our study is centred on the Video Plankton Recorder (VPR) for non-invasive in situ observations of taxa distribution and abundance while simultaneously recording oceanographic profiles. A modified WP-2 plankton ...
