Frequent Occurrence and Metabolic Versatility of Marinifilaceae Bacteria as Key Players in Organic Matter Mineralization in Global Deep Seas

ABSTRACT Transfer of animal and plant detritus of both terrestrial and marine origins to the deep sea occurs on a global scale. Microorganisms play an important role in mineralizing them therein, but these are yet to be identified in situ. To observe key bacteria involved, we conducted long-term in...
