Single-cell heterotrophic activity in deep-ocean prokaryotic communities quantified by BONCAT and microautoradiography

Prokaryotes play a central role in marine biogeochemical cycles, yet quantifying their activity requires sensitive methods, particularly in the deep ocean where their biomass and …

Comparison of picolyl azide-based BONCAT and microautoradiography for assessing the heterotrophic prokaryotic activity in the deep ocean

Prokaryotes play a central role in marine biogeochemical cycles, yet quantifying their activity requires sensitive methods due to low biomass and metabolic rates, particularly in …

Anaplerotic processes are key contributors to dark carbon fixation in the ocean

Abstract Anaplerotic carbon fixation is ubiquitous in heterotrophic organisms including those inhabiting the ocean1. Despite its prevalence, the drivers of this process and its …

A device for assessing microbial activity under ambient hydrostatic pressure: The in situ microbial incubator (ISMI)

Microbes in the dark ocean are exposed to hydrostatic pressure increasing with depth. Activity rate measurements and biomass production of dark ocean microbes are, however, almost …

Limited carbon cycling due to high-pressure effects on the deep-sea microbiome

Deep-sea microbial communities are exposed to high-pressure conditions, which has a variable impact on prokaryotes depending on whether they are piezophilic (that is, …

Impact of hydrostatic pressure on organic carbon cycling of the deep-sea microbiome

Deep-sea microbial communities are exposed to high hydrostatic pressure. While some of these deep-sea prokaryotes are adapted to high-pressure conditions, the contribution of …

Mesozooplankton taurine production and prokaryotic uptake in the northern Adriatic Sea

Dissolved free taurine, an important osmolyte in phytoplankton and metazoans, has been shown to be a significant carbon and energy source for prokaryotes in the North Atlantic …
