Production of biologically-refractory dissolved organic carbon by natural seawater microbial populations
Small amounts of carbon from glucose and leucine added at natural concentrations to seawater were biologically transformed to higher molecular weight (MW) dissolved materials which persisted through six months of incubation. These materials were resistant to biological utilization: only 1 to 17% of...
