Dissolved Compounds Excreted by Copepods Reshape the Active Marine Bacterioplankton Community Composition

Copepods are important suppliers of bioreactive compounds for marine bacteria through fecal pellet production, sloppy feeding, and the excretion of dissolved compounds. However, the interaction between copepods and bacteria in the marine environment is poorly understood. We determined the nitrogen a...
