Bacteria and Archaea Regulate Particulate Organic Matter Export in Suspended and Sinking Marine Particle Fractions [PDF]
mSphere, 2023 The biological carbon pump (BCP) in the Southern Ocean is driven by phytoplankton productivity and is a significant organic matter sink. However, the role of particle-attached (PA) and free-living (FL) prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and their ...

Particulate Mercury and Particulate Organic Matter in the Itenez Basin (Bolivia) [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 In rivers and other freshwater bodies, the presence of mercury can be due to direct contamination by anthropic activities such as gold mining. However, it can also be attributed to atmospheric deposition and erosion, runoff, or lixiviation from ...

Biocatalytic quantification of α‐glucan in marine particulate organic matter [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2022 Marine algae drive the marine carbon cycle, converting carbon dioxide into organic material. A major component of this produced biomass is a variety of glycans. Marine α‐glucans include a range of storage glycans from red and green algae, bacteria, fungi,

Lability of secondary organic particulate matter [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 Significance Mass lability of atmospheric organic particulate matter, meaning its tendency to evaporate, is an important property in the mechanisms governing the climate and health effects. This property can be governed by both the volatility and the molecular diffusivity of the constituent organic species.

Particulate Organic Matter in the Sea: The Composition Conundrum [PDF]
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2004 As organic matter produced in the euphotic zone of the ocean sinks through the mesopelagic zone, its composition changes from one that is easily characterized by standard chromatographic techniques to one that is not. The material not identified at the molecular level is called "uncharacterized".

Relative humidity-dependent viscosity of secondary organic material from toluene photo-oxidation and possible implications for organic particulate matter over megacities [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 To improve predictions of air quality, visibility, and climate change, knowledge of the viscosities and diffusion rates within organic particulate matter consisting of secondary organic material (SOM) is required.
