All animals on Earth form associations with microorganisms, including protists, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses. In the ocean, animal–microbial relationships were historically explored in single host–symbiont systems.
Marine microorganisms have been variously estimated to make up about 70%, or about 90%, of the biomass in the ocean. Taken together they form the marine microbiome . Over billions of years this microbiome has evolved many life styles and adaptations and come to participate in the global cycling of almost all chemical elements. [7]

What is a Microbe? Microbes are everywhere, including the ocean. A single liter of seawater has about one billion bacteria and 10 billion viruses. But what does it mean to be a microbe? A microbe is an extremely tiny organism, and it is not necessarily within a unified group that is closely related. In fact, microbes exist in all three domains ...
The sea's invisible pasture. Drawing on ocean and marine microbe data collected by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers, this model depicts the most dominant types of phytoplankton in the world's oceans, with Prochlorococcus ruling much of the globe and bigger diatoms dominating nearer the poles.
Jun 15, 2021 · Here, we report genome sequence analysis of a novel marine bacterial species, Vibrio bathopelagicus sp. nov., isolated from warm bathypelagic waters (3309 m depth) of the Mediterranean Sea. Interestingly, V. bathopelagicus sp. nov. is closely related to coastal Vibrio strains pathogenic to marine bivalves. V.

Marine animals share the sea with a vast diversity of microorganisms, including protists, bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses which comprise millions of cells in each milliliter of the 1.3 billion km 3 of water comprising the oceans ( Eakins and Sharman, 2010 ).
May 25, 2017 · Among the changes occurring across this time span that will have important impacts on marine microbiology are increases in atmospheric CO 2 uptake and concomitant decreases in ocean pH; warming...
