Microbial metabolism in laboratory reared marine snow as revealed by a multi-omics approach
Our findings shed light on the essential metabolic interactions within marine snow-degrading microbial consortia, which employ complementary physiological mechanisms and survival strategies to effectively scavenge marine snow. This work advances our understanding of the fate of marine snow and the role of microbes in carbon sequestration in the ocean. Video Abstract.
