FIG 2.

Changes in DOM quantity and quality after incubation with Prochlorococcus exudate and lysate produced by different viruses. (a) Microbial utilization of different DOC derived from Prochlorococcus DOM; (b) the DOM spectral slope S275–295, which is typically related to DOM molecular weight, at specific sampling times for each DOM treatment. The value of each replicate and the trend line of each treatment are shown.
