Investigating the in-situ production and processing of aquatic fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria (2024)
Thesis
Perrin, E. Investigating the in-situ production and processing of aquatic fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10277981

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the largest reservoirs of carbon on the planet, and is ubiquitous throughout aquatic systems. It plays an essential role in global biogeochemical cycles and the transport and storage of carbon through the hydr...
