High molecular weight dissolved organic matter enrichment selects for methylotrophs in dilution to extinction cultures

The role of bacterioplankton in the cycling of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is central to the carbon and energy balance in the ocean, yet there are few model organisms available to investigate the genes, metabolic pathways, and biochemical mechanisms involved in the degradation of this glob...
