- Marine microbe communities can evolve rapidly in response to environmental shifts and could be used as indicators of ocean change. In fact, marine microbes are “the canary in the coal mine” for the marine environment. In addition, they are also drivers of change in the ocean.

They are not really “dead” because they are teeming with anaerobic microorganisms. The anaerobic respiration by sulfate-reducing bacteria is especially important in marine systems whereas methanogenic archaea fulfill this role in anoxic freshwater systems.

Jun 4, 2016 · Bacteria and Archaea represent major drivers of the biogeochemical cycles in the marine environment due to their large abundance, high cell-specific activity, and their unique metabolic capabilities that include, among others, nitrogen fixation, (anaerobic) ammonia oxidation, and methane oxidation.

Jun 4, 2016 · Marine microscopic life varies from single-celled organisms, simple multicellular, to symbiotic microorganisms encompassing all three domains of life: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya as well as biologically active entities such as viruses and viroids. Together they form the Ocean’s “microbiome”.
