Radiotracer approach with the addition of 14C-labelled acetate to the seawater was used to determine the microbial assimilation of acetate into particulate cell biomass (as a carbon source), and the oxidation of acetate to carbon dioxide (as an energy source) in the northern Gulf of Mexico as well a...
