Anaplerotic processes are key contributors to dark carbon fixation in the ocean Open
Anaplerotic carbon fixation is ubiquitous in heterotrophic organisms including those inhabiting the ocean1. Despite its prevalence, the drivers of this process and its significance in ocean carbon cycling remain poorly understood2,3. Here …

A device for assessing microbial activity under ambient hydrostatic pressure: The in situ microbial incubator (<span>ISMI</span>) Open
Microbes in the dark ocean are exposed to hydrostatic pressure increasing with depth. Activity rate measurements and biomass production of dark ocean microbes are, however, almost exclusively performed under atmospheric pressure conditions…

Decoupling of respiration rates and abundance in marine prokaryoplankton Open
The ocean–atmosphere exchange of CO 2 largely depends on the balance between marine microbial photosynthesis and respiration. Despite vast taxonomic and metabolic diversity among marine planktonic bacteria and archaea (prokaryoplankton) 1–…

Zooplankton‐derived dissolved organic matter composition and its bioavailability to natural prokaryotic communities Open
Zooplankton grazing onphytoplankton promotes the release of particulate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) into the water column and therefore plays a key role in organic matter cycling in aquatic systems. Prokaryotes are the main DOM cons…

Limited carbon cycling due to high-pressure effects on the deep-sea microbiome Open
Deep-sea microbial communities are exposed to high-pressure conditions, which has a variable impact on prokaryotes depending on whether they are piezophilic (that is, pressure-loving), piezotolerant or piezosensitive. While it has been sug…

Impact of hydrostatic pressure on organic carbon cycling of the deep-sea microbiome Open
Deep-sea microbial communities are exposed to high hydrostatic pressure. While some of these deep-sea prokaryotes are adapted to high-pressure conditions, the contribution of piezophilic (i.e., pressure-loving) and piezotolerant prokaryote…

Microbes mediating the sulfur cycle in the Atlantic Ocean and their link to chemolithoautotrophy Open
Summary Only about 10%–30% of the organic matter produced in the epipelagic layers reaches the dark ocean. Under these limiting conditions, reduced inorganic substrates might be used as an energy source to fuel prokaryotic chemoautotrophic…

Functional Seasonality of Free-Living and Particle-Associated Prokaryotic Communities in the Coastal Adriatic Sea Open
Marine snow is an important habitat for microbes, characterized by chemical and physical properties contrasting those of the ambient water. The higher nutrient concentrations in marine snow lead to compositional differences between the amb…
