Impact of photochemical processing of DOC on the bacterioplankton respiratory quotient in aquatic ecosystems

Abstract Many studies assume a respiratory quotient (RQ = molar ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed) close to 1 when calculating bacterioplankton respiration. However, evidence suggests that RQ depends on the chemical composition of the respired substrate pool that may be altered by photochemical p...
