Abstrakt: The University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany is conducting research on freshwater ecosystems, focusing on topics such as nutrient cycling, the effects of stressors on organisms, decomposition of organic matter, and interactions between diatoms and their environment. The researchers use genetic analysis and experimental systems like ExStream, miniature streams that simulate natural river conditions, to study the impact of pollution and climate change on rivers. Their goal is to understand the importance of microbial communities in rivers and raise awareness about the need to protect freshwater ecosystems. [Extracted from the article]
