"Marine protists are a polyphyletic group of organisms playing major roles in the ecology and biogeochemistry of the oceans, including performing much of Earth's photosynthesis and driving the carbon, nitrogen, and silicon cycles. In addition, marine protists occupy key positions in the tree of life, including as the closest relatives of ...
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 ...

What is the role of protists in marine biogeochemical cycles?
Marine microorganisms are defined by their habitat as microorganisms living in a marine environment, that is, in the saltwater of a sea or ocean or the brackish water of a coastal estuary. A microorganism (or microbe) is any microscopic living organism or virus, which is invisibly small to the unaided human eye without magnification ...
Jul 15, 2019 · 15 July 2019. Article history. PDF. Split View. Cite. Permissions. Share. Abstract. Many protist plankton are mixotrophs, combining phototrophy and phagotrophy. Their role in freshwater and marine ecology has emerged as a major developing feature of plankton research over recent decades.

Interactions of protists with bacteria, archaea, viruses as well as with multicellular taxa in the ocean influence biogeochemical cycling, mortality, and even the metabolic potential of the protists themselves.
May 5, 2019 · On the phylogeny, marine protists are in bold, with marine models used to explore multicellularity and photosynthesis in blue and green, respectively. We include a subset of genera from Waller et al. (2018) as well as additional cases to highlight lineages discussed herein; see Supplemental Table 1 for a complete list.
The application of culture-independent approaches has revealed that microbial interactions in the marine microbiome range from metabolite exchanges between free-living planktonic cells to epibiotic and intracellular endosymbiotic interactions that bridge the symbiosis – organelle transition.
