Short summary
Carbon cycling throughout the ocean is dependent on the balance between phytoplankton productivity and heterotrophic decomposition. Bacteria must produce structurally specific enzymes to degrade specific chemical structures found in organic matter. Organic matter composition, environmental physical/chemical parameters, microbial community composition, and enzymatic activities varied with depth; the structural complexity of organic matter varied also with location in the ocean.
