Published in Nature Geoscience, this study offers a new perspective for understanding how microbes influence the ocean carbon cycle. By revealing the impact of physical structures (cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies, oceanic fronts, visible at the surface via satellite images) on the fluxes of micro-organisms, this study makes it possible to better estimate the oceanic carbon balance and to refine climate models by integrating these physical and microbial processes, which have hitherto been underestimated.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><div class=\"field__item\"><div class=\"entity-block content-inset\"><h4><strong>CNRS laboratories involved<\/strong><\/h4><p>\u00a0<\/p><div class=\"field--name-body\"><div class=\"tex2jax_process\"><ul><li><strong>Mediterranean Institute of Oceanology (MIO - Pyth\u00e9as)<\/strong><br \/>Supervisory bodies: CNRS, Aix-Marseille University, IRD, University of Toulon<\/li><li><strong>Oceanology and Geosciences Laboratory (LOG)<\/strong><br \/>Supervisory bodies: CNRS, Universit\u00e9 Littoral C\u00f4te d'Opale, Universit\u00e9 de Lille<\/li><li><strong>Marine Environment Sciences Laboratory (LEMAR - IUEM)<\/strong><br \/>Supervisory bodies: CNRS, IFREMER, IRD, UNIV BRETAGNE OCCIDENTALE<\/li><li><strong>Villefranche oceanography laboratory (LOV - IMEV - STAMAR)<\/strong><br \/>Supervisory bodies: CNRS, Sorbonne University<\/li><li><strong>Microbial Oceanography Laboratory (LOMIC)<\/strong><br \/>Supervisory bodies: CNRS, Sorbonne University<\/li><li><strong>INSU Technical Division<\/strong> (DT INSU), CNRS, National Oceanographic Instrumentation Park<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insu.cnrs.fr\/fr\/cnrsinfo\/les-structures-oceaniques-cyclones-anticyclones-influencent-le-role-des-micro-organismes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Read the news<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eac1092 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"eac1092\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05c9efb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"05c9efb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"290\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mio.osupytheas.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cnrs_20240037_0012_MD.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-24942\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mio.osupytheas.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cnrs_20240037_0012_MD.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.mio.osupytheas.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cnrs_20240037_0012_MD-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mio.osupytheas.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cnrs_20240037_0012_MD-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-931b81c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"931b81c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-619b292 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"619b292\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Launching of the \u201cMultinet HYDROBIOS\u201d net during the APERO campaign(\u00a9 Melvak \/ Mission APERO \/ CNRS Images)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actualit\u00e9 CNRS Terre &amp;
