Major contribution of particle‐associated microbes to deep‐sea organic carbon degradation

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 …

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 …
