Abstract
-derived DOM and heterotrophic prokaryotes as well as their influence on the coastal environment, we investigated the degradation of DOM by coastal microbes during a 180-day dark incubation. We showed substantial DOM compositional changes that were closely linked to the developments of microbial specialists and generalists. Our study provides information on the interactions between microbial population succession and DOM molecular changes, thereby advancing our understanding of microbial processing of the marine DOM pool under the influence of climate change.
