The paper investigates how iron limitation affects carbon flow to bacteria by altering exometabolite consumption in a diatom-bacterial community.

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.

This study shows that ammonia oxidizers contribute only a small fraction to dark ocean DIC fixation, challenging the assumption that nitrification primarily sustains carbon fixation in the deep ocean.

The paper introduces GRUMP, a database of global ocean microbial communities using universal primers, enabling direct comparison of taxonomic ratios across samples and domains.

The paper synthesizes genetic data with a marine ecosystem model to analyze functional biogeography of marine heteroprokaryotes, identifying key ecological factors shaping their distribution.

This study examines how seasonal and developmental changes in kelp exudate carbohydrates influence its microbiome composition and microbial community structure.

The paper analyzes SAR202 bacterial genomes to show paralog expansions correlate with metabolic specialization and niche adaptation across ocean depths and regions.
