Linking phylogenetic identity and biogeochemical function of uncultivated marine microbes with novel mass spectrometry techniques

Creator:: Bryson, Samuel J.
Abstract:: The combined activities of diverse heterotrophic marine microorganisms significantly shape global biogeochemical cycles, but models of these activities are currently limited to aggregate microbial community processes, and it remains unclear how community structure and the functional roles of specific microbial taxa should be integrated into these models. Therefore, understanding the...
