Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine microorganisms play a key role in shaping marine ecosystems and have a profound impact on global biogeochemical cycles. As the foundation of marine food webs, these tiny but powerful organisms form the basis of life in oceans.
The collection of articles presented in this Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research in this field. It explores the diversity and distribution of marine microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, algae, viruses, and protozoa, as well as their interactions with each other and the surrounding environment. Advanced molecular techniques and innovative sampling methods have opened up new opportunities for advancement, allowing researchers to unearth novel species and understand their ecological functions
