  2. 1. Molecular-level dissolved organic matter dynamics in lakes : Constraints on reactivity and persistence

    Author : Anne Marie Kellerman; Lars J. Tranvik; Dolly N. Kothawala; Thorsten Dittmar; Robert G. M. Spencer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : dissolved organic matter; DOM; dissolved organic carbon; organic matter characterization; fluorescence; PARAFAC; molecular weight; mass spectrometry; FT-ICR-MS; boreal lakes; Biology with specialization in Limnology; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi;

    Abstract : Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a central component of the global carbon cycle. Thus, small changes to the amount of DOM imported, processed and produced within lakes can have a large effect on regional carbon budgets. In addition to being a vital energy source at the base of the aquatic food web, DOM is physico-chemically reactive. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterisation of natural dissolved organic matter with liquid chromatography and high resolution mass spectrometry

    Author : Claudia Patriarca; Jonas Bergquist; Lars Tranvik; Per J.R. Sjöberg; Jeffrey A. Hawkes; Norbert Hertkorn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquatic carbon cycle; dissolved organic matter; DOM; high resolution mass spectrometry; online liquid chromatography; organic matter characterization; Kemi med inriktning mot analytisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Analytical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the most heterogeneous and complex mixture on Earth. DOM plays a crucial role in biogeochemical processes on the global scale and it is essential to sustain and regulate the biological processes in aquatic ecosystems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Molecular mechanisms involved in prokaryotic cycling of labile dissolved organic matter in the sea

    Author : Benjamin Pontiller; Jarone Pinhassi; Daniel Lundin; Catherine Legrand; Martin F. Polz; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacteria and archaea; labile dissolved organic matter; metatranscriptomics; monomers; polymers; carbohydrate-active enzymes CAZymes ; peptidases; membrane transporters; Natural Science; Naturvetenskap; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Roughly half of the global primary production originates from microscopic phytoplankton in marine ecosystems, converting carbon dioxide into organic matter. This organic matter pool consists of a myriad of compounds that fuel heterotrophic bacterioplankton. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dissolved organic matter across terrestrial and aquatic systems : sources, chemistry and microbial processing

    Author : Geert Hensgens; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dissolved organic matter; carbon; leaching; decay; chemistry; terrestrial; aquatic;

    Abstract : The movement of DOM from terrestrial to aquatic systems is a globally significant flux affecting both carbon sequestration and CO2 emissions. Here, DOM dynamics were investigated in terrestrial and aquatic systems within the context of this carbon flux. READ MORE

  7. 5. Utilization of terrestrially derived dissolved organic nitrogen by aquatic bacteria

    Author : Ramunas Stepanauskas; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amino acids; spring flood; UV radiation; estuarine mixing; microbial loop; bacterial bioassays; marine eutrophication; bioavailability; Dissolved organic nitrogen; DON; extracellular aminopeptidase; Baltic Sea; Hydrobiology; marine biology; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi;

    Abstract : I investigated the bacterial utilization of terrestrially derived dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in aquatic ecosystems, and assessed the potential role of river-born DON in marine eutrophication. To determine the bioavailability of DON, I developed a bioassay employing N-limited bacterial regrowth cultures, which were calibrated with additions of inorganic nitrogen. READ MORE
