Abstract

The authors discuss a study by J. M. Arrieta and colleagues regarding the limits in using dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the deep ocean. Topics include the concentration and characteristics of recalcitrant DOC (RDOC), estimating the DOC concentration by using population growth kinetics, and the role of prokaryotic growth in the dilution limitation of DOC.
