What is the role of dissolved organic matter in the deep sea? In a study relating to this question, researchers have investigated the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in detail. Their ...

Because microorganisms preferentially break down water-soluble organic molecules, it is important to understand how hydrothermal processes mobilize DOM, for example, those from natural oil seeps.
