Dataset for: Major contribution of particle‐associated microbes to deep‐sea organic carbon degradation

This data was used to investigate differences in prokaryotic abundance, production, respiration, and carbon turnover between the bulk and particle-associated fractions along a latitudinal transect in the North Atlantic. The results have been published in:Heitger, M., Amano, C., Reinthaler, T., Papadatou, M., Pokorny, L., Alvarez-Salgado, X.A., and Herndl, G.J.
