DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.15997
Abstract: Marine heterotrophic bacteria contribute considerably to global carbon cycling, in part by utilizing phytoplankton-derived polysaccharides. The patterns and rates of two different polysaccharide utilization modes - extracellular hydrolysis and selfish uptake - have previously been… read more here.
