Microbial Ecology of the Oceans (Paperback, New Ed)

Microbial Ecology of the Oceans reviews some basics of marine microbiology and provides a foundation for researchers and students new to the field while also examining several questions currently being discussed in modern microbial ecology. The book brings together concepts from autoecological studies of individual bacterial groups and from ecological studies of microbial assemblages in the oceans. In addition to drawing on the rich history of microbiology, Microbial Ecology of the Oceans uses the latest advances in biological and chemical oceanography and limnology to examine the role of marine microbes and viruses in the oceans.

Some of the topics covered by this informative book include:

• Microbial evolution, as revealed by molecular techniques
• Microbes in carbon budgets and cycles
• Viruses and grazers of bacteria
• Competition between bacteria and phytoplankton for limited nutrients
• Marine symbiosis

Microbial Ecology of the Oceans elucidates the role of microbes in food web dynamics and biogeochemical cycles in the ocean. It will prove to be an indispensable resource for students and researchers in biological and chemical oceanography, geochemistry, marine chemistry, freshwater ecology, and microbiology.
