Microbial Life in Marine Environments

http://serc.carleton.edu/microbelife/marine/index.html

Microbes account for more than 90% of ocean biomass and constitute a hidden majority of life that flourishes in the sea. What is even more surprising is that much of this microbial life remains unknown because we cannot culture it in a test tube and it is difficult to observe in nature.
