Abstract The EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive 2008/56/EC (MSFD) defines a framework for Community actions in the field of marine environmental policy in order to …
This paper synthesizes recent findings regarding microbial distributions and processes in the bathypelagic ocean (depth> 1000m). Abundance, production and respiration of …
Prokaryotic extracellular enzymatic activity, abundance, heterotrophic production and respiration were determined in the meso‐and bathypelagic (sub) tropical North Atlantic …
The extent to which differences in microbial community structure result in variations in organic matter (OM) degradation is not well understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that …

Heterotrophic microbes initiate the degradation of high molecular weight organic matter using extracellular enzymes. Our understanding of differences in microbial enzymatic …
In most of the aquatic ecosystems, microorganisms are major players in the biogeochemical and nutrients cycles (Carbon Nitrogen, Phosphorus), through their enzymatic activities …
The degradation of organic matter along the water column is mediated by enzymes released into the environment by planktonic organisms. Variations in enzymes profiles (types and …
We determined the total and dissolved extracellular enzymatic activity (EEA) of α- glucosidase and β-glucosidase (AGase and BGase), alkaline phosphatase (APase) and …
