Functional Molecular Diversity of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter Is Reduced during Degradation
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a highly diverse mixture of compounds, accounting for one of the world's largest active carbon pools. The surprising recalcitrance of some DOM compounds to bacterial degradation has recently been associated with its diversity. However, little is known about lar...
