Microbial Processes & Carbon Cycling in the Ocean
Jiao, Nianzhi / Zhang, Chuanlun
This book discusses recent progress in microbial oceanography with emphasis on microbial processes and mechanisms related to carbon cycling in the ocean, including the newly recognised microbial light utilisation in the surface ocean, archaeal carbon fixation and methane oxidation in the deep ocean and sediment, as well as lysis of host organisms by viroplankton and its influence on carbon cycling in the water column. Key functional groups of ...
