“Foraminifera are found in all the world's oceans. An international study led by the University of Hamburg has now shown that they are present in all oceans: The mostly shell-bearing microorganisms take up phosphate from the water to an unprecedented extent, which pollutes the oceans. The study has been published in the scientific journal “Nature”.”
