Ice formation, growth and associated substrate supply determine sea-ice bacterial community dynamics

Sea ice, at its maximum extent, is one of the largest biomes on Earth. In addition to the polar oceans, it covers extensive sea areas at lower latitudes such as the Baltic Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk. During ice formation, organic and inorganic components in the parent seawater are concentrated into...

In addition to the polar oceans, it covers extensive sea areas at lower latitudes such as the Baltic Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk.

Sea-ice bacteria are responsible for many biogeochemical processes, such as decomposition of particulate organic matter, recycling of dissolved organic matter and remineralization of nutrients, analogously to bacterially driven biogeochemical processes in the water column. Since bacterial groups vary by their metabolic traits and participation in biogeochemical processes, knowledge of the bacterial community structure and its seasonal variation is essential for an understanding of ice biogeochemistry.
