Abstract

Particle-attached microbes play large roles in the ocean carbon cycle and help to sequester atmospheric CO 2 and to deliver nutrients and energy on sinking particles to the deep sea. Here, we report on the genomic traits of particle-attached versus free-living microbes throughout the ocean water column to better differentiate their specific metabolic and ecological roles in the sea.
