• The biological pump in a high CO 2 world (2012, background): “…zooplankton (Dilling et al. 1998, Goldthwait et al. 2004) as well as solubilization of POM to DOM due to the hydrolytic enzymes produced by attached bacteria (Smith et al. 1992, Grossart & Simon 1998, Ploug & Grossart 2000) effectively convert rapidly sinking particles to suspended organic matter.”
• Chemical and Biological Studies of Particulate Organic Matter in the Ocean (2002, background): “Such aggregates can be hotspots of microbial respiration which cause a rapid and efficient respiratory turnover of particulate organic carbon in the sea (Ploug et al., 1999; Ploug and Grossart, 2000).”
• Microbial dynamics on diatom aggregates in Øresund, Denmark (2003, background): “The abundances of aggregate-associated bacteria, flagellates, and ciliates were similar to those found in previous studies (Caron et al. 1982, 1986, Alldredge & Gotschalk 1990, Grossart & Simon 1993, Ploug et al. 1999, Artolozaga et al. 2000, Ploug & Grossart 2000).”
• Effects of rising temperature on the formation and microbial degradation of marine diatom aggregates (2009, result): “In accordance with previous studies (Alldredge et al. 1986, Herndl 1988, Karner & Herndl 1992, Ploug & Grossart 2000, Grossart et al. 2003), we observed an enrichment of bacteria in aggregates (Fig.”
• Formation and fate of marine snow: small-scale processes with large- scale implications (2001, background): “Ploug and Grossart (2000) found that the microbial metabolism accounted for almost 80 % of the carbon loss rate in aggregates incubated in the laboratory.”
• Zooplankton fecal pellets, marine snow and sinking phytoplankton blooms (2002, background): “1994, Steinberg et al. 1994, Turley & Mackie 1994, Artolozaga et al. 1997, Holloway & Cowen 1997, Leppard et al. 1997, Noji et al. 1997, Rath et al. 1998, Ploug & Grossart 2000).”
• Microbial oceanography of the dark ocean's pelagic realm (2009, methodology): “Using this experimental approach, Ploug and coworkers (Ploug and Grossart 2000; Grossart and Ploug 2001; Ploug 2001) measured respiratory carbon turnover times of aggregates on the order of 1–2 weeks, pointing to a tighter coupling between POC and microbial respiration than previously assumed.”
