Abstract

Bacteria are key players in the marine sulfur cycle, from the sunlit ocean surface to the dark abyssal depths. Here, we provide a brief overview of the interlinked metabolic processes of organosulfur compounds, an elusive sulfur cycling process that exists in the dark ocean, and the current challenges that limit our understanding of this key nutrient cycle.

摘要

细菌是海洋硫循环中的关键参与者，从阳光照射的海洋表面到黑暗的深海深渊。在这里，我们简要概述了有机硫化合物的相互关联的代谢过程、存在于黑暗海洋中的难以捉摸的硫循环过程，以及当前限制我们对这一关键营养循环理解的挑战。
