Additionally, stimulated bacterial degradation might heavily affect the organic composition of nascent sea - spray particles, upon which relies the ability of marine aerosols to interact with the climate system. (oceanacidification.de)
While the team's research showed no significant difference in bacterial degradation of organic matter from cleared or forested watersheds, Canuel says it did show that «organic carbon in runoff from watersheds affected by human activity is less susceptible to solar degradation than that from forested watersheds.» (sciencedaily.com)
The FDA has estimated the amount of caloric contribution due to bacterial degradation at about 1.5 calories per gram of fiber. (foodiefiasco.com)
