Metabolic activity and functional diversity changes in sediment prokaryotic communities organically enriched with mussel biodeposits.

This experimental microcosm study reports the influence of organic enrichments by mussel biodeposits on the metabolic activity and functional diversity of benthic prokaryotic communities. The different biodeposit enrichment regimes created, which mimicked the quantity of faeces and pseudo-faeces pot...
