| In this work, a multi-elemental approach combining Cu and Zn stable isotopes is used to assess the metal contamination evolution in the Loire estuary bulk sediments. Elemental geochemical data indicate an increase of metal concentrations from the beginning of the industrial period peaking in the 1990s, followed by an attenuation of metal contamination inputs to the estuary. Zinc isotope compositions suggest a binary mixing process between Zn derived from terrigenous material and multi-urban anthropogenic sources. Copper isotope systematics indicate a single natural dominant source represented by weathered silicate particles from soils and rocks. This work demonstrates the applicability of Zn isotopes to identify anthropogenic Zn sources in coastal systems,... |

| Oxygen availability impacts the marine nitrogen cycle at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Invasive organisms have shown to sustainably affect sediment geochemistry and benthic ecology. Nonionella sp. T1 was recently described as an invasive benthic foraminifer in the North Sea region. Here, we demonstrate the impact of this denitrifying species on the foraminifera fauna and the nitrogen cycle of the Gullmar Fjord (Sweden). The foraminifera contribution to benthic denitrification was estimated by coupling living foraminifera micro-distribution, denitrification rate measurement and sedimentary nitrate 2D distribution. Nonionella sp. T1 dominated the foraminifera fauna and could denitrify up to 50–100 % of nitrate porewater in oxygenated bottom waters... |

| Some benthic foraminifera have the ability to incorporate functional chloroplasts from diatoms (kleptoplasty). Our objective was to investigate chloroplast functionality of two benthic foraminifera (Haynesina germanica and Ammonia tepida) exposed to different irradiance levels (0, 25, 70 mot photon m(-2) s(-1)) using spectral reflectance, epifluorescence observations, oxygen evolution and pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry (maximum photosystem II quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) and rapid light curves (RLC)). Our results clearly showed that H. germanica was capable of using its kleptoplasts for more than 1 week while A. tepida showed very limited kleptoplastic ability with maximum photosystem II quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm = 0.4), much lower than H.... |

| In order to establish the ecological status of water bodies, the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) is based on the evaluation of a number of biological quality elements, as well as physical parameters supporting the biology. In estuaries, phytoplankton monitoring was not considered relevant because of the high turbidity characterizing the large metropolitan estuaries and the French overseas departments (Guyana). In this work, we considered the possibility of using microphytobenthos (MPB) as a biological indicator of the ecological status of estuaries. This activity report summarizes the actions undertaken in 2017 under an AFB / Université de Nantes convention, which is structured around two main axes: the first axis is based on the analysis of the... |

| The assimilation of inorganic compounds in foraminiferal metabolism compared to predation or organic matter assimilation is unknown. Here we investigate possible inorganic‐compound assimilation in Nonionellina labradorica, a common kleptoplastidic benthic foraminifer from Arctic and North Atlantic sublittoral regions. The objectives were to identify the source of the foraminiferal kleptoplasts, assess their photosynthetic functionality in light and darkness, and investigate inorganic nitrogen and sulfate assimilation. We used DNA barcoding of a ~830 bp fragment from the SSU rDNA to identify the kleptoplasts, and correlated transmission electron microscopy and nanometer‐scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (TEM‐NanoSIMS) isotopic imaging to study... |

| The aim of this work is to document the complex nutritional strategy developed by kleptoplastic intertidal foraminifera. We study the mixotrophic ability of a common intertidal foraminifer, E. williamsoni, by (1) investigating the phylogenetic identity of the foraminiferal kleptoplasts, (2) following their oxygenic photosynthetic capacity, and (3) observing the modification in cellular ultrastructural features in response to photoautotrophic conditions. This was achieved by coupling molecular phylogenetic analyses and TEM observations with non-destructive measurements of kleptoplast O2 production over a 15-day experimental study. Results show that the studied E. williamsoni actively selected kleptoplasts mainly from pennate diatoms and had the ability to... |

| This study presents a new gel based technique to describe the pore water ammonium distribution through the sediment-water interface in two dimensions at a millimeter scale. The technique is an adaptation of the classical colorimetric method based on the Berthelot's reaction. After the thin film of the gel probe was equilibrated by diffusion either in standard solutions or in pore waters, a colorimetric reagent gel was set on the gel probe, allowing development of the characteristic green color. A flatbed scanner and subsequent densitometry image analysis allowed to determine the concentration distribution of ammonium. The gel probe was tested in the laboratory for two media, deionized water and seawater, within the range 0–3000 μM in NH4+. Detection limit... |
