Bacterial Transformation and Processing of Diatom-Derived Organic Matter: A Case Study for Skeletonema dohrnii.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial transformation and processing of phytoplankton-derived organic matter are extremely important for the formation of ubiquitous organic matter (OM) in aquatic ecosystems. Heterotrophic bacteria convert OM into biomass and recycle inorganic components, contributing to the production of microbial food webs. While phytoplankton-derived organic matter is commonly studied, the transformation and processing of dissolved OM (DOM) and lysate OM (LOM) by culturable epiphytic bacteria remains poorly understood. In this study, cultivable epiphytic bacteria from the marine diatom, Skeletonema dohrnii, were isolated, purified, and identified. Three bacteria, Roseobacteria sp., Marinobacter sp., and Bacillus sp., were selected to study the transformation and processin
