Metagenomic Discovery of Neutral Lipid Metabolism Pathways in the Arctic Ocean Microbiomes Suggests a Potential New Role in Survival and Oceanic Carbon Cycling

The Arctic Ocean microbiomes experience extreme seasonal fluctuations in light, nutrient availability, and organic carbon supply.

The Arctic Ocean microbiomes experience extreme seasonal fluctuations in light, nutrient availability, and organic carbon supply. In this environment, neutral lipid storage may provide a key survival strategy. Here, we investigated the diversity, distribution, and ecological…
