Current estimates suggest that lipids can account for 10% of total dissolved organic matter (DOC) in the oceans. However, our knowledge on microbial lipid transformation in the oceans is very limited. Neither the identities of the microbes involved, nor the mechanisms by which lipids are degraded, have been well understood. A major hurdle in understanding the microbial lipid cycl
