Influence of Light on Particulate Organic Matter Utilization by Attached and Free-Living Marine Bacteria

Light plays a central role on primary productivity of aquatic systems. Yet, its potential impact on the degradation of photosynthetically produced biomass is not well understood. We investigated the patterns of light-induced particle breakdown and bacterial assimilation of detrital C and N using 13C...
