This updated and expanded second edition reviews numerous aspects
of the marine microbiome and its possible industrial applications.
The marine microbiome is the total of microorganisms and viruses in
the ocean and seas and in any connected environment, including the
seafloor and marine animals and plants. In the first part of the
book, diversity, origin and evolution of the marine microorganisms
and viruses are discussed. The microbes presented originate from
all three domains of life: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. The
second part sheds some light on the different communities: it
describes marine habitats and how their inhabitants control
biogeochemical cycles. The third part finally examines the
microbial ocean as a global system and evaluates methods of
utilizing marine microbial resources. Adopting a translational
approach, the book connects academic research with industrial
applications, making it a fascinating read and valuable resource
for microbiologists from both domains.
This book describes the state-of-the-art concerning the 'marine
microbiome' and its uses in biotechnology. The first part discusses
the diversity and ecology of marine microorganisms and viruses,
including all three domains of life: Bacteria, Archaea, and
Eukarya. It discusses whether marine microorganisms exist and, if
so, why they might be unique. The second part presents selected
marine habitats, their inhabitants and how they influence
biogeochemical cycles, while the third discusses the utilization of
marine microbial resources, including legal aspects, dissemination,
and public awareness. The marine microbiome is the total of
microorganisms and viruses in the ocean and seas and in any
connected environment, including the seafloor and marine animals
and plants. The diversity of microbial life remains unquantified
and largely unknown, and could represent a hidden treasure for
human society. Accordingly, this book is also intended to connect
academics and industry, providing essential information for
microbiologists from both fields.
