Abstract:The generation and consumption of single carbon molecules (CO2 and CH4) by aquatic microbial communities is an essential aspect of the global carbon budget. Organic carbon flow (warm sunlit regimes) is depicted as beginning at the surface with autochthonous fixation followed by biomass settling to sediments, CO2 respi-ration to the atmosphere, and outflow. We sought to broaden understanding of C1 cycling and consortia by examining the microbial community of a below-ice lake water column in which both input and… Show more
