Picocyanobacteria and deep-ocean fluorescent dissolved organic matter share similar optical properties

The sources of marine chromophoric dissolved organic matter and associated fluorescent DOM (FDOM) remain unclear. Here, the authors demonstrate that picocyanobacteria release FDOM similar to typical fluorescent signals found in the ocean, and are likely to be an important source of marine FDOM.
