Eva Ortega-Retuerta, CR CNRS, HDR

I focus my research in understanding the linkage between organic matter and microbes across ocean scales, and how this interaction affects biogeochemical processes. I currently work on the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.

At 662 Pg C, marine organic matter (OM) is one of the largest reservoirs of reduced carbon on Earth. It consists of a myriad of compounds with different reactivity. Knowledge of dynamic interactions between OM (both dissolved and particulate) and microbial communities is critical to draw the routes of the carbon and other element fluxes, but also to understand the evolution and succession of microbial communities in ecosystems. While OM provides the energetic foundation for the growth of heterotrophic prokaryotes, affecting their community structure and metabolic potential, prokaryotes are also key mediators in the formation, transformation, and storage of OM, affecting numerous biogeochemical processes in the ocean.
