Marine #microorganisms are crucial for #ocean health.
#Bacteria, #archaea, #fungi, #algae and #viruses make up most of the biomass in the seas and form the base of marine food webs.
They support nutrient cycling and drive crucial biogeochemical processes, including key steps in the carbon, nitrogen and silicon cycles.
Ocean modelling must evolve to take their biological complexity into account.
