Oxygen loss from seagrass roots coincides with colonisation of sulphide-oxidising cable bacteria and reduces sulphide stress
Seagrasses thrive in anoxic sediments where sulphide can accumulate to phytotoxic levels.
So how do seagrasses persist in this environment? Here, we propose that radial oxygen …
