Enhanced microbial nitrogen transformations in association with macrobiota from the rocky intertidal

<p>Microbial nitrogen processing in direct association with marine animals and seaweeds is poorly understood. Microbes can both attach to the surfaces of macrobiota and make use of their excreted nitrogen and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). We tested the role of an intertidal mussel (<i>...
