Diel Oscillation of Microbial Gene Transcripts Declines With Depth in Oligotrophic Ocean Waters
Diel oscillations in primary and secondary production, growth, metabolic activity, and gene expression commonly occur in marine microbial communities in ocean surface waters.

The Protection and Management of the Sargasso Sea [PDF]
The Sargasso Sea is a fundamentally important part of the world's ocean, located within the North Atlantic sub-tropical gyre with its boundaries defined by the surrounding currents.

Mesoscale eddies: Hotspots of prokaryotic activity and differential community structure in the ocean [PDF]
14 pages, 9 figures, 2 tablesTo investigate the effects of mesoscale eddies on prokaryotic assemblage structure and activity, we sampled two cyclonic eddies (CEs) and two anticyclonic eddies (AEs) in the permanent eddy-field downstream the Canary Islands.

Bacteria as Passive Passengers in the Equatorial Pacific Biological Carbon Pump
Abstract Bacteria are important agents modulating the efficiency of the ocean's biological carbon pump (BCP). The long‐standing view considers bacteria as degraders of sinking particulate organic carbon (POC), yet underappreciates their contribution to carbon export.

Isolation and Characterization of Bacteria That Degrade Phosphonates in Marine Dissolved Organic Matter [PDF]
Semi-labile dissolved organic matter (DOM) accumulates in surface waters of the oligotrophic ocean gyres and turns over on seasonal to annual timescales.

Diverse diazotrophs are present on sinking particles in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. [PDF]
Sinking particles transport carbon and nutrients from the surface ocean into the deep sea and are considered hot spots for bacterial diversity and activity.

Meso- and Bathypelagic Fish Interactions with Seamounts and Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]
The World Ocean\u27s midwaters contain the vast majority of Earth\u27s vertebrates in the form of mesoand bathypelagic (\u27deep-pelagic,\u27 in the combined sense) fishes.

Microbial respiration, the engine of ocean deoxygenation [PDF]
Microbial plankton respiration is the key determinant in the balance between the storage of organic carbon in the oceans or its conversion to carbon dioxide with accompanying consumption of dissolved oxygen.
