Marine protists are defined by their habitat as protists that live in marine environments, that is, in the saltwater of seas or oceans or the brackish water of coastal estuaries. Life originated as marine single-celled prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and later evolved into more complex eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are the more developed life forms ...

The International Census of Marine Microbes is a field project of the Census of Marine Life that inventories microbial diversity by cataloging all known diversity of single-cell organisms including bacteria, Archaea, Protista, and associated viruses, exploring and discovering unknown microbial diversity, and placing that knowledge into ...

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.
The microbiomes of marine mammals (phylum Chordata) (Figure 3G) have recently been investigated and offer a comparative study system to terrestrial mammals (reviewed within Nelson et al., 2015 ). Marine mammals are often viewed as sentinel species of the ocean, because they appear to rapidly respond to ocean conditions, disturbances, and ...
Abstract. Diversity within marine microbiomes spans the three domains of life: microbial eukaryotes (i.e., protists), bacteria, and archaea. Although protists were the first microbes observed by microscopy, it took the advent of molecular techniques to begin to resolve their complex and reticulate evolutionary history.
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 ...
