Depth-Related Cell-Specific Bacterial Leucine Incorporation Rates on Particles and Its Biogeochemical Significance in the Northwest Mediterranean

A study of total and particle-associated bacteria in the Northwest Mediterranean revealed notable relationships with depth. Cell-specific leucine incorporation rates by total bacteria decreased significantly with depth (to 380 m), best fitting the power function log (rate) = 2.1-0.54 log (depth),$r^...
