This study explores the taxonomic and metabolic diversity of microbes associated with sinking particles in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Marine particles are hotspots of microbial activity, yet
Microbial diversity and function within deep Earth crust play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling of elements including C, N, S, etc., and are of great importance in understanding the biosphere.
This dataset contains the values of natural abundance of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes in bulk samples and of nitrogen isotopes in amino acids measured in 261 samples of...
