The biogeochemistry of marine polysaccharides: sources, inventories, and bacterial drivers of the carbohydrate cycle
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 …

Dissolved storage glycans shaped the community composition of abundant bacterioplankton clades during a North Sea spring phytoplankton bloom
Background Blooms of marine microalgae play a pivotal role in global carbon cycling. Such
blooms entail successive blooms of specialized clades of planktonic bacteria that …
