Microbial carbon oxidation in seawater below the hypoxic threshold by Sarah Wolf, Clare Jayawickrama, Craig A. Carlson, Curtis Deutsch, Edward W. Davis, Benjamin N. Daniels, Francis Chan, Stephen J. Giovannoni

“…Recently it was reported that Michaelis Menten constants (Km) of oxidative enzymes are orders of magnitude higher than respiratory Km values, and in the Hypoxic Barrier Hypothesis it was proposed that, in ecosystems experiencing falling oxygen, oxygenase enzyme activities become oxygen-limited long before respiration. …”
