Microscale dynamics promote segregated denitrification in diatom aggregates sinking slowly in bulk oxygenated seawater
Abstract Sinking marine particles drive the biological pump that naturally sequesters carbon from the atmosphere. Despite their small size, the compartmentalized nature of particles promotes intense localized metabolic activity by their bacterial colonizers. Yet the mechanisms promoting the onset of...
