Contrasting effects of singlet oxygen and hydrogen peroxide on bacterial community composition in a humic lake.

Light excitation of humic matter generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in surface waters of aquatic ecosystems. Abundant ROS generated in humic matter rich lakes include singlet oxygen ((1)O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Because these ROS differ in half-life time and toxicity, we compared their...
