- Abstract:
- The ecology of most of the marine bacterioplankton is unknown. The study of obligate intracellular bacterial symbioses is one of the fastest growing areas of microbiological research. This proposal will determine if bacterioplankton comprise bacteria that form important endocellular symbiotic relationships in zooplanktonic species. Since planktonic organisms are central to marine foodwebs, the global carbon cycle and represent a key life-stage of many benthic species the determination of bacterial infections that take place in the plankton will have a profound influence on marine ecology.
