Protists are usually one-celled microorganisms. They include algae ( autotrophs which make their own food) and protozoans ( heterotrophs which eat the algae for food). In recent years, researchers have discovered many protists are mixotrophs, which can function in both modes. Marine protists are defined by their habitat as protists that live in ...
But one of the most influential events in the study of marine microbes during the 1900s was a complete accident. In 1968, Alvin, a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution submarine, flooded and sank to the bottom of the ocean. Upon retrieval, the crew noticed an interesting item left behind in the sub—someone’s lunch.
Marine microbiome. Marine animal host-microbiome relationship. Relationships are generally thought to exist in a symbiotic state, and are normally exposed to environmental and animal-specific factors that may cause natural variations. Some events may change the relationship into a functioning but altered symbiotic state, whereas extreme stress ...

Marine prokaryotes are responsible for significant levels of the photosynthesis that occurs in the ocean, as well as significant cycling of carbon and other nutrients. Prokaryotes live throughout the biosphere. In 2018 it was estimated the total biomass of all prokaryotes on the planet was equivalent to 77 billion tonnes of carbon (77 Gt C ...

The study of marine microbial ecology has been completely transformed by molecular and genomic data: after centuries of relative neglect, genomics has revealed the surprising extent of microbial diversity and how microbial processes transform ocean and global ecosystems. But the revolution is not complete: major gaps in our understanding remain ...
Jan 31, 2019 · Recent big data analyses have illuminated marine microbial diversity from a global perspective, focusing on planktonic microorganisms. Here, we analyze 2.5 terabases of newly sequenced datasets ...
