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 …

This chapter reviews and synthesizes the current state of knowledge on sources,
transformations, cycling, and fluxes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in river-estuarine and …

We compared the function and composition of free-living and particle-associated microbial
communities at an inshore site in coastal North Carolina and across a depth profile on the …

To test the hypothesis that particle composition has a stronger influence on the community
structure of particle‐attached than free‐living bacteria, elemental (C/N, δ13C, and δ15N) …

As a result of ubiquitous excretion by micro-organisms, extracellular polymeric substances
are reported in high concentrations in marine systems. The majority of this material is …

The bacterial degradation of polysaccharides is central to marine carbon cycling, but little is
known about the bacterial taxa that degrade specific marine polysaccharides. Here …

Heterotrophic microbial communities play a central role in the marine carbon cycle. They are
active in nearly all known environments, from the surface to the deep ocean, in the …

The newly revised and updated third edition of the bestselling book on microbial ecology in
the oceans The third edition of Microbial Ecology of the Oceans features new topics, as well …

Marine polysaccharides are structurally diverse, as are the microbial communities capable
of remineralizing them. Variations in the diversity, richness, and metagenome content of …

Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 has conventionally been considered unable to use glucose as
a carbon substrate for growth. The genome sequence of S. oneidensis MR-1 however …
