Molecular insights into the microbial formation of marine dissolved organic matter: recalcitrant or labile?

The degradation of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important control variable in the global carbon cycle. For our understanding of the kinetics of organic matter cycling in the ocean, it is crucial to achieve a mechanistic and molecular understanding of its transformation processes. A lo...
