The ocean has been a regulator of climate change throughout the history of Earth. One key
mechanism is the mediation of the carbon reservoir by refractory dissolved organic carbon …

Soil enzymes are crucial in mediating ecosystems' responses to environmental drivers, so
that the comprehension of their sensitivity to drivers of global change can help make …

The balance between degradation and preservation of sedimentary organic carbon (OC) is
important for global carbon and oxygen cycles. The relative importance of different …

Microbial dissimilatory sulfate reduction to sulfide is a predominant terminal pathway of
organic matter mineralization in the anoxic seabed. Chemical or microbial oxidation of the …

Brown algae are important players in the global carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide into 1
Gt of biomass annually, yet the fate of fucoidan—their major cell wall polysaccharide …

Brown algae annually convert gigatons of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, including the
complex extracellular matrix polysaccharide fucoidan. Due to its persistence in the …

Literature covered: early 2000s to late 2017 Bacteria frequently exchange metabolites with
other micro-and macro-organisms. In these often obligate cross-feeding interactions, primary …

Bacteria often live within matrix-embedded communities, termed biofilms, which are now
understood to be a major mode of microbial life. The study of biofilms has revealed their vast …
