There would be no food, oxygen, nitrates, no recycling of organic matter, so life could continue.
The reason this matters is that 95% of dissolved organic matter seems to be refractory.

Geophysicists say oil is formed by high pressures and temperatures transforming organic matter over millions of years.
Ploughing fields opens up organic matter to oxidation and the release of nitrogen held in the soils.
They therefore suspect the main source of food for AAPB is dissolved organic matter released by phytoplankton.

It is caused by the bacterial decomposition of organic matter that has died and sunk to the bottom.

The lake reacts with violent lava fountaining activity, presumably in part due to steam produced from the organic matter.
It reduced its two human opponents, former champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, to steaming puddles of inferior organic matter.

The findings indicate that ancient deposits of organic matter may have been converted to methane by microbes under the ice.
Harvest aims to cut composting time by creating the perfect temperature and moisture environment for the bugs that break down organic matter.
Methane is the final product of the anaerobic metabolic pathway of clostridium bacteria breaking down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, primarily cellulose.

The solids from the water treatment, as mentioned have a lot of organic matter in them, meaning they are useful to other living things.
In part that's because the Maryland field has more organic matter dead vegetation (mostly the residue from the previous crop), microorganisms, manure or compost.
Colliding asteroids and comets would have delivered plenty of organic matter.
Bacteria oxidize the organic matter and, in the process, produce electrons that run from the anode to the cathode within the fuel cell, creating an electrical current.
The cross-sections of tissue from frogs, newts, slime mold, cockroaches and other organic matter are beautiful, like works of the Abstract Expressionists with which they are contemporaneous.
Such radio waves act like the microwaves in an oven, heating organic matter up to the point where, if it was not dead already, it soon will be.

The Great Plains in middle America were, millions of years ago, great inland seas where organic matter deposited eons ago has matured into valuable oil and gas pools today.
The lake is said to retain an excellent record of past climate change which can be inferred from the types and abundance of algae and other organic matter found in its bed muds.
The council said two companies were applying to Mendip district council for permission to test drill for the gas, which is found in shale formed from deposits of mud, silt, clay and organic matter.
She added that the deltas appeared to be excellent candidates for finding stored organic matter, because the clays brought in from the watershed and deposited in the lake would have trapped any organisms, leaving a "cemetery of microbes".
The researchers suggest that while the upper layers of Messel Lake were hospitable enough to allow turtles to live, its deeper layers may have been a toxic death trap, perhaps from the buildup of volcanic gases or poisonous decaying organic matter.
By creating conditions that the bugs that break down organic matter thrive in a little warmth, a little moisture and mixing it up to keep the process going, Havest can speed the natural composting process to six to eight weeks from double that.
FORBES: Waste Management's New Way of Managing Waste: Speed Composting
Belcher, who came to MIT in 2002, won a MacArthur "genius" award in 2004 and works out of an office that is littered with more matter, both organic and inorganic, than any living thing could create order from.
Was his mixture of romanticism and classicism genuine and organic or merely mechanical, a matter of putting themes doggedly through their paces?
Once the fermentation process that creates the methane is finished, the remaining solid matter, or "digestate" is used as an organic fertilizer for crops that will later be used as feedstock for the animals.
