Prokaryote communities were investigated on the seasonally stratified Alaska Beaufort Shelf
(ABS). Water and sediment directly underlying water with origin in the Arctic, Pacific or …

Hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria are important for controlling the fate of natural and
anthropogenic hydrocarbons in the marine environment. In the wake of the Deepwater …

Predation on bacteria and accompanying mortality are important mechanisms in controlling
bacterial populations and recycling of nutrients through the microbial loop. The agents most …

Anoxia occurs in bottom waters of stratified estuaries when respiratory consumption of
oxygen, primarily by bacteria, outpaces atmospheric and photosynthetic reoxygenation …

Urbanization has altered the fate and transport of anthropogenic nitrogen (N) in rivers and
estuaries globally. This study evaluates the capacity of an urbanizing river–estuarine …

Bacterioplankton are the major driving force for biogeochemical cycles in estuarine
ecosystems, but the communities that mediate these processes are largely unexplored. We …

The roles and metabolic activity of heterotrophic bacteria, along with factors controlling their
activity, are poorly known for large, turbid rivers. The aim of this study was to evaluate …

To assess the effects of seasonal oxygen transition on microbial metabolism, we measured
spatiotemporal changes in total dissolved inorganic carbon, respiratory products, and …

Diseases of hermatypic corals pose a global threat to coral reefs, and investigations of
bacterial communities associated with healthy corals and those exhibiting signs of disease …

The interactions between heterotrophic microbes and high‐molecular‐weight (HMW)
dissolved organic carbon in estuaries are complex and poorly understood. This study …
