Use of “specific” inhibitors in biogeochemistry and microbial ecology

RS Oremland, DG Capone - Advances in microbial ecology, 1988 - Springer
The above statement, although meant to be tongue in cheek, contains an essential truism:
all work with inhibitors is inherently suspect. This fact has been known by biochemists for …
