Bacteria and Foraminifera: : key players in a short-term deep-sea benthic response to phytodetritus

ABSTRACT: The deep-sea floor has long been considered a ’food desert’ but recent observations suggest that episodic inputs of relatively fresh organic matter (phytodetritus) occur and that benthic processing of this material may be rapid. Although the responses of the total community in terms of oxy...
