Seasonal patterns of exometabolites depend on microbial functions in the oligotrophic ocean

E. L. McParland, F. Wittmers, L. M. Bolanos, C. A. Carlson, R. Curry, S. J. Giovannoni, M. Michelsen, R. J. Parsons, M. C. Kido Soule, G. J. Swarr, B. Temperton, K. Vergin, A. Z. Worden, K. Longnecker, E. B. Kujawinski

The paper examines seasonal exometabolite patterns in the oligotrophic ocean, linking microbial functions to DOM dynamics and showing DOM composition is more stable than microbial community structure.

Syndiniales parasites drive species networks and are a biomarker for carbon export in the oligotrophic ocean

S. R. Anderson, L. Blanco-Bercial, C. A. Carlson, E. L. Harvey

The paper analyzes Syndiniales parasite-host networks in the Sargasso Sea to show their role in carbon export and flux attenuation through remineralization.

Quantitative analysis of food web dynamics in a low export ecosystem

H. M. McNair, M. G. Meyer, S. J. Lerch, A. E. Maas, B. M. Stephens, J. Fox, K. N. Buck, S. M. Burns, I. Cetinic, M. R. Cohn, C. Durkin, S. M. Gifford, W. Gong, J. R. Graff, B. Jenkins, , T. A. Rynearson

The paper quantifies food web dynamics in a low export ecosystem, finding microbial recycling dominates carbon flow with minimal export due to slow turnover and high detrital background.

Compartmentalization of specialized metabolites across vegetative and reproductive tissues in two sympatric Psychotria (Rubiaceae)

G. F. Schneider, C. A. Carlson, E. M. Jos, N. G. Beckman

The paper compares specialized metabolite diversity in leaves and fruits of two Psychotria species, finding leaves have greater richness and more organ-specific metabolites than fruits.

Carbon content, carbon fixation yield and dissolved organic carbon release from diverse marine nitrifiers

B. Bayer, K. McBeain, C. A. Carlson, A. E. Santoro

This study measures carbon content, carbon fixation yield, and DOC release in marine nitrifiers, finding that DOC release averages 5-15% of fixed DIC and is not affected by substrate concentration or temperature.
