Metatranscriptomic and functional metagenomic analysis of methylphosphonate utilization by marine bacteria

Aerobic degradation of methylphosphonate (MPn) by marine bacterioplankton has been hypothesized to contribute significantly to the ocean's methane supersaturation, yet little is known about MPn utilization by marine microbes. To identify the microbial taxa and metabolic functions associated wit...
