Intracellular carbon storage by microorganisms is an overlooked pathway of biomass growth
Nature Communications, 2023 The concept of biomass growth is central to microbial carbon (C) cycling and ecosystem nutrient turnover. Microbial biomass is usually assumed to grow by cellular replication, despite microorganisms’ capacity to increase biomass by synthesizing storage ...
