Polysaccharides are major components of macroalgal and phytoplankton biomass and
constitute a large fraction of the organic matter produced and degraded in the ocean. Until …

Within the wealth of molecules constituting marine dissolved organic matter, carbohydrates
make up the largest coherent and quantifiable fraction. Their main sources are from primary …

Marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) exhibits a spectrum of reactivity, from very fast
turnover of the most bioavailable forms in the surface ocean to long-lived materials …

Containing as much carbon as the atmosphere, marine dissolved organic matter is one of
Earth's major carbon reservoirs. With invigoration of scientific inquiries into the global carbon …

Extracellular enzymes initiate microbial remineralization of organic matter by hydrolyzing
substrates to sizes sufficiently small to be transported across cell membranes. As much of …

Most of the carbon fixed in primary production is rapidly cycled and remin-eralized, leaving
behind various forms of organic carbon that contribute to a vast reservoir of nonliving …

Ocean warming occurs every year in seasonal cycles that can help us to understand long-
term responses of plankton to climate change. Rhythmic seasonal patterns of microbial …

The mesopelagic zone is the oceanic region through which carbon and other elements must
pass in order to reach deeper waters or the sea floor. However, the food web interactions …

Increasing algal cover on tropical reefs worldwide may be maintained through feedbacks
whereby algae outcompete coral by altering microbial activity. We hypothesized that algae …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) was extracted by solid-phase extraction (SPE) from 137
water samples from different climate zones and different depths along an eastern Atlantic …
