Direct single-cell biomass estimates for marine bacteria via Archimedes' principle

Direct single-cell biomass estimates for marine bacteria via Archimedes' principle

Microbes are an essential component of marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and therefore precise estimates of their biomass are of significant value. Here, we measured single-cell biomass distributions of isolates from several numerically abundant marine bacterial groups, including Pelagibac...
