Microbial Ecology of the Oceans (3rd Edition) – eBook

Description

Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, 3^rd Edition, (PDF) is a thoroughly revised and expanded version that introduces fresh topics and innovative approaches to previously covered subjects, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the complex interactions of marine microorganisms. This comprehensive ebook begins with an overview of the evolution within the field of microbial ecology, offering insights into anticipated trends and developments in the years ahead.

The chapters explore the intricate ecology, functionality, and diversity of oceanic microbes, as well as the essential microbial genes that play crucial roles within marine ecosystems. Delving deeper, the text emphasizes the ecology and biology of select model organisms, providing insights into how these organisms can be used to understand the vast community of marine microbes. Additionally, the book highlights several trophic roles that have undergone significant transformations in recent years, culminating in a detailed examination of the pivotal role microorganisms play in the oceanic phosphorus cycle.

Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, 3e offers an in-depth look at a variety of critical subjects, including: The Evolution of Microbial Ecology of the Ocean; Ecological Significance of Microbial Trophic Mixing in the Oligotrophic Ocean; Metatranscriptomics and Metaproteomics; Insights into Marine Microbial Diversity through High Throughput Sequencing; Advances in Microbial Ecology from Model Marine Bacteria; The Microbial Physiological Ecology of the Marine Phosphorus Cycle; Understanding the Biogeochemistry of Oxygen-Deficient Water Columns; Interactions between Marine Microbes and Nonliving Organic Matter; Insights into the Ocean’s Microscale; Ecological Genomics of Marine Viruses; Phytoplankton Functional Types; and much more.

• Incorporates widely adopted methodological practices for studying marine microbes
