ImpactHigh impact

The discussions underscore the potential broad ecological impact, with words like 'crucial role' and 'significant contribution' showing recognition of the research's importance.

Abstract in brief

  • Pelagic fungi play a significant role in degrading proteins and cycling nitrogen in the world's oceans, especially detectable through the activity of specific enzymes called peptidases.
  • Different types of fungi are dominant at various depths: Dothideomycetes are more active near the surface, while Leotiomycetes are prevalent in deeper, mesopelagic zones, with fungal activity increasing as depth increases.
  • The study suggests fungi have unique ecological roles compared to bacteria, particularly in breaking down proteins and possibly supporting processes like saprotrophic nutrition, thereby contributing to the ocean's carbon and nitrogen cycles.

@tmoindustries @colinaverill @chante__harris @NatureMicrobiol Fungi are just a remarkable group of organisms not only in terrestrial ecosystems but also in coastal and open ocean ecosystems. They play a crucial role in nutrient recycling, and are likely to modulate quite substantially the biological carbon pump. https://t.co/0DTOWCB2XA
