Sedimentary supply of humic-like fluorescent dissolved organic matter and its implication for chemoautotrophic microbial activity in the Izu-Ogasawara Trench

Abstract Microbial community structure in the hadal water is reported to be different from that in the upper abyssal water. However, the mechanism governing the difference has not been fully understood. In this study, we investigate the vertical distributions of humic-like fluorescent dissolved orga...
