• The biological pump in a high CO 2 world (2012, background): “…POM via the production of hydrolytic enzymes and the subsequent release of DOM to the surrounding environment, was proposed as a possible mechanism to help support the mesopelagic bacterial carbon demand (Smith et al. 1992, Azam 1998, Grossart & Simon 1998, Azam & Long 2001, Kiørboe et al. 2001).”
• Mesopelagic zone ecology and biogeochemistry - a synthesis (2010, background): “This uncoupled solubilization and remineralization can result in significant release of dissolved compounds in the wake of a sinking particle, forming nutrient rich ‘plumes’ (Azam and Long, 2001; Kiørboe and Jackson, 2001).”
• Microbial structuring of marine ecosystems (2007, background): “Because marine snow is organically enriched, bacterial growth might occur with high growth efficienc”
• Nitrogenase genes in non-cyanobacterial plankton: prevalence, diversity and regulation in marine waters (2010, background): “These loci may be perceived as metabolic hot spots (Azam & Long 2001) where extensive microbial growth (Alldredge & Gotschalk 1990, Smith et al. 1995, Riemann et al. 2000) and thereby respiration can lead to reduced O2 concentrations in the particle interiors (Paerl & Prufert 1987, Ploug et al.…”
• Microbial oceanography of the dark ocean's pelagic realm (2009, background): “Azam and Long (2001) suggested that colonizing bacteria may release their progeny into the plume, taking advantage of the DOM emanating from the particle, together with the free-living cells.”
• Theory of Island Biogeography on a Microscopic Scale: Organic Aggregates as Islands for Aquatic Pathogens (2010, methodology): “We therefore recommend that aggregates be incorporated into models of waterborne diseases and illnesses, similar to the way they have been added to models of carbon cycling and food webs (Azam & Long 2001, Burd & Jackson 2009).”
• The carbohydrates of Phaeocystis and their degradation in the microbial food web (2007, background): “They form enclosed microenvironments of substrate for bacteria to colonize, release their extracellular enzymes and efficiently take up the degradation products at high local concentrations (Azam 1998; Azam and Long 2001).”
• A benthic mucilage event in North‐Western Mediterranean Sea and its possible relationships with the summer 2003 European heatwave: short term effects on littoral rocky assemblages (2007, background): “The DOC, because of copious extracellular enzymes produced by bacteria-colonizing aggregates, was produced much faster than the same bacteria can use it ( Azam & Long 2001 ).”
• Molecular insights into the microbial formation of marine dissolved organic matter: recalcitrant or labile? (2014, background): “TEP also provide surfaces and substrates for bacteria and archaea, creating hot spots of microbial activity (Smith et al., 1992; Passow and Alldredge, 1994; Azam and Long, 2001).”
• Microbial ecology of organic aggregates in aquatic ecosystems (2002, unknown): “5; Azam & Long 2001, Kiørboe 2001).”
• Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPSs) in Ocean Systems (2017, background): “, 2015), thus suggesting that marine snow are hotspots for remineralization of organic and inorganic materials (Azam and Long, 2001; Thornton et al., 2010).”
