Organic carbon in marine sediments is a critical component of the global carbon cycle, and
its degradation influences a wide range of phenomena, including the magnitude of carbon …

Microorganisms that transform and oxidize organic material (that is, heterotrophs) play a
fundamental role in the geochemical cycling of key elements in the ocean. Through their …

The remineralization of organic carbon (OC) in marine sediments has crucial implications for
global carbon cycling and climate change. However, OC turnover rates differ significantly …

Abstract The West Coast of India (WCI) is influenced largely by semi-annual changes in the
wind pattern and monsoonal currents. This is reported to cause upwelling which increases …

Climate change is an urgent environmental issue with wide‐ranging impacts on ecosystems
and society. Microbes are instrumental in maintaining the balance between carbon (C) …

The biological pump supplies carbon to the oceans' interior, driving long-term carbon
sequestration and providing energy for deep-sea ecosystems,. Its efficiency is set by …

Growing evidence suggests that interactions among heterotrophic microorganisms influence
the efficiency and rate of organic matter turnover. These interactions are dynamic and …

Black bloom has become an increasingly severe environmental and ecological problem in
lots of lakes. Ferrous monosulfide (FeS), which is closely related to chemical iron reduction …

In the context of global climate change, ocean iron fertilization (OIF) has been suggested as
a potential geoengineering strategy to enhance the growth of marine phytoplankton …

Deep-sea sediments are populated by diverse microbial communities that derive their
nutritional requirements from the degradation of organic matter. Extracellular hydrolytic …
