Global change is altering Earth’s biogeochemical cycles by rewiring the links between microbes and organic matter. However, < 1% of bacterial species have been cultured, and fewer than half of the identifiable major bacterial lineages or phyla include cultivated representatives. Similarly, a large proportion of natural organic matter remains [...] Read more

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a complex and diverse mixture of labile and recalcitrant molecules that actively shape the biogeochemical cycles of all ecosystems on Earth. Compared to bulk carbon pools traditionally considered, the partitioning of organic matter into various fractions, such as particulate and mineral-associated pools or labile [...] Read more
