"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 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 ...

Apr 1, 2024 · The ocean microbiome is one of the main engines of the biosphere [ 1 ]. A massive number of cells populates it, with global estimates indicating ~ 10 29 prokaryotic cells and ~ 10 30 viruses [ 2, 3 ]. In one milliliter of open ocean water, there are typically 10 3 protists, 10 6 prokaryotes, and 10 7 viruses [ 4 ].

Nov 21, 2016 · Protists are an important part of the marine food web. In this Review, Caronet al. summarize recent insights from transcriptomic studies of cultured and free-living protists and discuss how these ...
Feb 28, 2022 · 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.
