Macroalgae degradation promotes microbial iron reduction via electron shuttling in coastal Antarctic sediments

Macroalgae degradation promotes microbial iron reduction via electron shuttling in coastal Antarctic sediments

Colonization of newly ice-free areas by marine benthic organisms intensifies burial of macroalgae detritus in Potter Cove coastal surface sediments (Western Antarctic Peninsula). Thus, fresh and labile macroalgal detritus serves as primary organic matter (OM) source for microbial degradation. Here,...
