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 …
The biological carbon pump mediates the export of particulate organic carbon from the euphotic zone to the deep ocean, where it provides the base of the food web. Although deep‐sea …
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 …
Abstract Anaplerotic carbon fixation is ubiquitous in heterotrophic organisms including those inhabiting the ocean1. Despite its prevalence, the drivers of this process and its …
Proteins in the open ocean represent a significant source of organic matter, and their profiles reflect the metabolic activities of marine microorganisms. Here, by analyzing …
Marine heterotrophic prokaryotes primarily take up ambient substrates using transporters. The patterns of transporters targeting particular substrates shape the ecological role of …
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 …
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, …
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 …
