The Fate of Marine Bacterial Exopolysaccharide in Natural Marine Microbial Communities.

The Fate of Marine Bacterial Exopolysaccharide in Natural Marine Microbial Communities.

Most marine bacteria produce exopolysaccharides (EPS), and bacterial EPS represent an important source of dissolved organic carbon in marine ecosystems. It was proposed that bacterial EPS rich in uronic acid is resistant to mineralization by microbes and thus has a long residence time in global ocea...
