Prokaryotic Capability to Use Organic Substrates Across the Global Tropical and Subtropical Ocean

Prokaryotic Capability to Use Organic Substrates Across the Global Tropical and Subtropical Ocean

Prokaryotes play a fundamental role in decomposing organic matter in the ocean, but little is known about how microbial metabolic capabilities vary at the global ocean scale and what are the drivers causing this variation. We aimed at obtaining the first global exploration of the functional capabili...
