Metaproteomics Reveals Similar Vertical Distribution of Microbial Transport Proteins in Particulate Organic Matter Throughout the Water Column in the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Metaproteomics Reveals Similar Vertical Distribution of Microbial Transport Proteins in Particulate Organic Matter Throughout the Water Column in the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Solubilized particulate organic matter (POM) rather than dissolved organic matter (DOM) has been speculated to be the major carbon and energy sources for heterotrophic prokaryotes in the ocean. However, the direct evidence is still lack. Here we characterized microbial transport proteins of POM coll...
