In the oceans\, the role of bacteria in the food chain has been recognized 50 years ago. By consuming dissolved organic matter produced by the primary producers (e.g.\, algae)\, they re introduce part of the consumed carbon and nutrients into the food chain. H owever\, this consumption is not perfect and they release a lot of CO2 whe n they respire\, but also partially degraded molecules that can persist in the environment\, a process referred to as the microbial carbon pump. As the marine dissolved organic matter pool is one of the most complex substa nces\, understanding how some molecules persist is challenging. To do so\, I use complementary approaches at the intersection between geochemistry a nd microbial ecology. In this presentation\, I will talk about the role of marine heterotrophic bacteria in the cycling of dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen\, and present two studies specifically on the role of bacteri a as long-term sink of carbon and nitrogen.\n DTSTART:20231208T170000Z DTEND:20231208T180000Z SUMMARY:EPS Seminar Series: Dr. Richard LaBrie URL:/eps/channels/event/eps-seminar-series-dr-richard- labrie-353241 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
