Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocean is the largest ecosystem on Earth and contains large amounts of various microorganisms. These marine microorganisms play important roles in energy transfer and organic matter cycling in the ocean and contribute fundamentally to the stability of the oceanic ecosystem. The marine environment undergoes continuous change due to natural and/or anthropic influences. It is interesting and important to understand how marine microorganisms will respond to the change of environmental factors. This Special Issue aims to investigate the responses of marine microorganisms (e.g., community composition and physiological function) to changed environmental conditions (controlled and naturally occurred). New methods and concepts are encouraged. All article types are welcome.
