Photochemical transformations of dissolved organic matter and its subsequent utilization by marine bacterioplankton

Solar radiation, in particular UV radiation, has a significant impact on the biogeochemical cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM). A multitude of potential effects of UV radiation on the complex interactions of biological, chemical and physical processes that mediate the cycling of DOM have been identified thus far. Two pathways have received considerable attention over the past decade, which are 1) the direct photooxidation of DOM to inorganic carbon species and 2) the photodegradation of DOM via the cleavage of refractory compounds to biologically more labile substrates which are subsequently utilized by bacterioplankton. ...
