Bacterioplankton (bacteria and archaea) are indispensable regulators of global element
cycles owing to their unique ability to decompose and remineralize dissolved organic matter …

The semi-enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, together with its smaller inertia due to
the relative short residence time of its water masses, make it highly reactive to external …

Bacterial Biogeochemistry, Third Edition focuses on bacterial metabolism and its relevance
to the environment, including the decomposition of soil, food chains, nitrogen fixation …

Lack of carbon has been assumed to be the most common limiting factor for bacterial growth
in soil, although there are reports of limitation by other nutrients, eg nitrogen and …

Marine microbial communities rely on dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) remineralisation
to meet phosphorus (P) requirements. We extensively surveyed the genomic and …

Complex microbiomes reside in marine sponges and consist of diverse microbial taxa,
including functional guilds that may contribute to host metabolism and coastal marine …

Phosphorus (P) is fundamental to life, and years of study in marine systems have built a
broad understanding of the marine P cycle. Various aspects of marine P biogeochemistry …

We combined denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), catalysed reporter
deposition-FISH (CARD-FISH) and clone libraries to investigate the seasonality of the …

We analyzed the contributions of different heterotrophic bacterial groups to the uptake of
several low-molecular weight compounds during a seasonal cycle on the northwestern …

Upon phosphorus (P) deficiency, marine phytoplankton reduce their requirements for P by
replacing membrane phospholipids with alternative non-phosphorus lipids. It was very …
