Eukaryotic and cyanobacterial communities associated with marine snow particles in the oligotrophic Sargasso Sea
Abstract Marine snow aggregates represent heterogeneous agglomerates of dead and living organic matter. Composition is decisive for their sinking rates, and thereby for carbon flux to the deep sea. For oligotrophic oceans, information on aggregate composition is particularly sparse. To address this,...
