Bacterial carbon processing by generalist species in the coastal ocean
- Xiaozhen Mou, Shulei Sun, Robert A. Edwards, Robert E. Hodson, Mary Ann Moran,
- Original article citation: Nature 451, 708-711, (2008).
- Categories: Biodiversity & Ecology and Ocean Sciences
- Recommended by: Anna Barnett on 02/07/2008 04:32PM GMT
- Reasons for recommending:
Mou et al. examine how marine bacteria contribute to the ocean's carbon cycle using an experimental metagenomics approach. This allows them to analyze metabolic capabilities throughout the community of bacteria, rather than characterizing individual taxa.
