Isolation and Characterization of Bacteria That Degrade Phosphonates in Marine Dissolved Organic Matter

Isolation and Characterization of Bacteria That Degrade Phosphonates in Marine Dissolved Organic Matter

Semi-labile dissolved organic matter (DOM) accumulates in surface waters of the oligotrophic ocean gyres and turns over on seasonal to annual timescales. This reservoir of DOM represents an important source of carbon, energy, and nutrients to marine microbial communities but the identity of the micr...
