Particle-attached bacteria act as gatekeepers in the decomposition of complex phytoplankton polysaccharides

Abstract Background Marine microalgae (phytoplankton) mediate almost half of the worldwide photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation and therefore play a pivotal role in global carbon cycling, most prominently during massive phytoplankton blooms. Phytoplankton biomass consists of considerable proportio...
