Microbial community structure and function on sinking particles in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Microbial community structure and function on sinking particles in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Sinking particles mediate the transport of carbon and energy to the deep-sea, yet the specific microbes associated with sedimenting particles in the ocean's interior remain largely uncharacterized. In this study, we used particle interceptor traps (PITs) to assess the nature of particle-associa...
