Microbial communities and organic matter composition in surface and subsurface sediments of the Helgoland mud area, North Sea

The role of microorganisms in the cycling of sedimentary organic carbon is a crucial one. To better understand relationships between molecular composition of a potentially bioavailable fraction of organic matter and microbial populations, bacterial and archaeal communities were characterized using p...
