Despite our growing understanding of the global carbon cycle, scientific consensus on the
drivers and mechanisms that control dissolved organic carbon (DOC) turnover in aquatic …

Plastic debris widely pollutes freshwaters. Abiotic and biotic degradation of plastics releases
carbon-based substrates that are available for heterotrophic growth, but little is known about …

It would not have been possible for me to write the three editions of this book without a
double dose of extraordinary fortune: to have been part of the Woods Hole scientific …

Microbes, the foundation of the marine foodweb, do not function in isolation, but rather rely
on molecular level interactions among species to thrive. Although certain types of …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) released from permafrost thaw greatly influences the
biogeochemical cycles of, among others, downstream carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus …

Interactions between dissolved organic matter (DOM) and bacteria are central in the
biogeochemical cycles of aquatic ecosystems; however, the relative importance of …

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) represents a unique challenge in prechlorinated raw
water distribution systems (PRWDSs) because of its contribution to the formation of harmful …

Substrate cover, water quality parameters and assemblages of corals, fishes, sponges,
echinoderms, ascidians, molluscs, benthic foraminifera and macroalgae were sampled …

Assemblages of corals, sponges, foraminifera, sediment bacteria and sediment archaea
were assessed at two depths in the Spermonde Archipelago. Our goal was to assess to what …

Marine microbes are critical players in the global carbon cycle, affecting both the reduction
of inorganic carbon and the remineralization of reduced organic compounds back to carbon …
