Mesopelagic zone ecology and biogeochemistry - a synthesis (2010, background): “This has led to unexpected insights into the diversity of microbes and microbial processes which regulate local and global elemental cycles (DeLong and Karl, 2005; Zak et al., 2006; Hamersley et al., 2007; Reinthaler et al., 2010).”
Zooplankton and the Ocean Carbon Cycle. (2017, background): “In addition, chemoautotrophic CO2 fixation supports abundant Crenarchaeota in the deep ocean and provides a source of autochthonous “new” organic carbon to support mesopelagic food webs (Reinthaler et al. 2010).”
Emerging concepts on microbial processes in the bathypelagic ocean-ecology, biogeochemistry, and genomics (2010, methodology): “DIC fixation by Crenarcheota might be fueled by the oxidation of ammonium (i.e., nitrification; Könneke et al., 2005; Wuchter et al., 2006; Beman et al., 2008), although it has yet to be demonstrated directly that such coupling exists in bathypelagic waters (Reinthaler et al., 2010).”
Dark inorganic carbon fixation sustains the functioning of benthic deep‐sea ecosystems (2013, background): “Potentially, archaeal inorganic C fixation significantly contributes to the sustaining of the prokaryotic heterotrophic C requirements at bathyal depths [Herndl et al., 2005; Baltar et al., 2010; Reinthaler et al., 2010].”
