Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, 3rd Edition, (PDF) has been updated with new topics and different approaches to subjects previously covered in past editions. The book begins with an introduction to changes in the field and forecasts for the upcoming years. Chapters explore the ecology, function, and diversity of microbes and microbial genes in the ocean. They also touch upon the ecology and biology of some model organisms, models for the entire marine microbes, and discuss some of the trophic roles that have recently transformed. Finally, it presents the role of microbes in the oceanic P cycle.
Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, 3e, features chapters on The Evolution of Microbial Ecology of the Ocean, Ecological Significance of Microbial Trophic Mixing in the Oligotrophic Ocean, Metatranscriptomics and Metaproteomics, Marine Microbial Diversity as Seen by High Throughput Sequencing, Advances in Microbial Ecology from Model Marine Bacteria, Microbial Physiological Ecology of The Marine Phosphorus Cycle, Microbial Ecology and Biogeochemistry of Oxygen-Deficient Water Columns, Marine Microbes and Nonliving Organic Matter, The Ocean’s Microscale, Ecological Genomics of Marine Viruses, Phytoplankton Functional Types, and more.
The book includes widely used methodological approaches and proposes theoretical interpretations of subtropical plankton biogeography. It fully defines the structure of the microbial ecosystem, discussing in particular the sources of carbon for microbial growth.
Microbial Ecology of the Oceans is a perfect textbook not only for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, but also for colleagues from other fields wishing to study microbes and the processes they mediate in marine systems. PLEASE NOTE: The product only includes the ebook, Microbial Ecology of the Oceans, 3rd Edition, in PDF format. No access codes are included.
