Population dynamics, interactions and evolution of marine microbes using genomic approaches
Francisco Latorre Pérez
Abstract:(English) There is a myriad of microorganisms on Earth contributing to global biogeochemical cycles. In the surface ocean, the smallest microbes (picoplankton) are responsible for an important fraction of the total atmospheric carbon and nitrogen fixation. The ocean picoplankton encompasses both prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and tiny unicellular eukaryotes (protists). Despite their overall importance for the functioning of the biosphere, many questions remain unanswered on their biogeography, population d… Show more
