Important Contribution of Bacterial Carbon and Nitrogen to Sinking Particle Export
Abstract Photosynthesis in the surface ocean converts atmospheric CO2 into organic particles, with the fraction sinking to depth representing a major part of the ocean's biological pump. Although sinking particles are known to be altered by attached‐bacteria during transit, most prior organic g...
