David Karl Jennie Hunter-Cevera, American Academy of Microbiology


This PDF report was produced as a result of the American Academy of Microbiology colloquium that convened April 8-10, 2005, in San Francisco, California, to focus on marine microbial diversity. In this report, professionals from Microbial physiology, ecology, genetics, oceanography, invertebrate biology, and virology discuss the importance of marine microorganisms to life on this planet, the biogeography of these organisms, their roles in symbiotic relationships and pathogenesis, their metabolic capabilities, their impacts on humans, and goals for research, training, and education in marine microbiology.
