Oxidation state of bioavailable dissolved organic matter influences bacterioplankton respiration and growth efficiency

Oxidation state of bioavailable dissolved organic matter influences bacterioplankton respiration and growth efficiency

Abstract Oxygen consumption by oceanic microbes can predict respiration (CO2 production) but requires an assumed respiratory quotient (RQ; ΔO2/ΔCO2). Measured apparent RQs (ARQs) can be impacted by various processes, including nitrification and changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition,...
