Microbially-mediated fluorescent organic matter transformations in the deep ocean. Do the chemical precursors matter?

Microbially-mediated fluorescent organic matter transformations in the deep ocean. Do the chemical precursors matter?

The refractory nature of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) increases while it travels from surface waters to the deep ocean. This resistant fraction is in part composed of fluorescent humic-like material, which is relatively difficult to metabolize by deep water prokaryotes, and it can also be g...
