Ocean study shows most deep-sea microbes are nearly inactive

In situ mass leucine incorporation rates normalized to rates obtained under atmospheric pressure conditions. The symbols correspond to the different research expeditions. The regression equation is a power law function: Pin situ = 494z−0.321 (not= 56, number of samples incubated in situ), where Pin situis the percentage of leucine incorporation rate in situ normalized to …
