One-quarter of photosynthesis-derived carbon on Earth rapidly cycles through a set of short-
lived seawater metabolites that are generated from the activities of marine phytoplankton …

To thrive in nutrient-poor waters, coral reefs must retain and recycle materials efficiently. This
review centers microbial processes in facilitating the persistence and stability of coral reefs …

Electrospray ionization (ESI) coupled with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass
spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) has been widely used for molecular characterization of dissolved …

Marine microorganisms play crucial roles in Earth's element cycles through the production
and consumption of organic matter. One of the elements whose fate is governed by …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) changes in quantity and quality over time and space,
especially in highly dynamic coastal estuaries. Bacterioplankton usually display seasonal …

Sponges are the oldest known extant animal-microbe symbiosis. These ubiquitous benthic
animals play an important role in marine ecosystems in the cycling of dissolved organic …

The deep terrestrial biosphere encompasses the life below the photosynthesis-fueled
surface that perseveres in typically nutrient and energy depleted anoxic groundwaters. The …

Glycine betaine (GBT) is a compatible solute in high concentrations in marine
microorganisms. As a component of labile organic matter, GBT has complex biochemical …

Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) represents one of the largest reduced carbon pools
on Earth. Diverse microbial metabolic activities play important roles in sha** this pool …

The transfer of particulate organic carbon (POC) to dissolved organic carbon (DOC; OC
transfer PD) is crucial for the marine carbon cycle. Sediment resuspension driven by …
