“…Nevertheless, a relatively large number of bacterial taxa in the ocean have been implicated in HWM-DOM turnover, either through experimental additions or following phytoplankton blooms, and some overlap should be expected between these taxa and those involved in HWM-DON cycling. These include the Alteromonads (for example, McCarren et al, 2010;Sharma et al, 2014;Mayali et al, 2015), Flavobacteria (for example, Kirchman, 2002;RintaKanto et al, 2012;Teeling et al, 2012;Sharma et al, 2014;Mayali et al, 2015) and the gammaproteobacterial clades NOR5/OM60, SAR92 (Teeling et al, 2012;Sharma et al, 2014) and SAR86 (Dupont et al, 2012). Bacterial groups specifically implicated in the cycling of HMW-DON and proteins include the Flavobacteria (Cottrell and Kirchman, 2000;Kirchman, 2002), the γ-Proteobacteria subgroups Arctic96B16, Ant4D3 and SAR86 (Nikrad et al, 2014), and the α-Proteobacteria clade SAR11 (Malmstrom et al, 2005).…”
