The paper examines seasonal exometabolite patterns in the oligotrophic ocean, linking microbial functions to DOM dynamics and showing DOM composition is more stable than microbial community structure.

This study examines how iron limitation affects viral replication in three marine microbes, finding varied impacts across species and strains.

The paper shows that ocean subduction creates 3D intrusions transporting surface microbial communities into the dark ocean, altering deep-sea microbial composition and carbon cycling.
