Popis: Deoxygenation is tied to organic carbon (Corg) supply and utilization in marine systems. Under oxygen-depletion, bacteria maintain Corg respiration using alternative electron acceptors such as nitrate. Since anaerobic respiration’s energy yield is lower, Corg remineralization may be reduced and its residence time increased. We investigated the influence of oxygen and alternative electron acceptors’ availability on Corg cycling by heterotrophic bacteria during a continuous culture experiment with Shewanella baltica, a facultative anaerobic γ-Proteobacteria in the Baltic Sea. We tested six different oxygen levels, from suboxic (
