News In focus… Image Credit: yubanet.com Study on ocean microbes may help for better understanding of climatic change S Scientists from University of Georgia explains large quantity of microbes present in each litre of sea water represent a structural community of microbes which in turn helps in understanding of global climatic change, a review report published in journal Science by University of Georgia marine scientist Mary Ann Moran. The ocean microbes are organism studied first and almost cover maximum part of earth surface. According to researcher, 'Marine microbes make up a vast biological network,' said Moran, a Distinguished Research Professor in the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. 'Microbes are responsible for virtually all the photosynthesis that occurs in the ocean, as well as the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrients and trace elements. They literally run the oceans.' 'Improved understanding of the function of microbiomes is crucial, not only in the ocean but in systems as varied as the human body, agricultural soils and groundwater,' Moran said. 'The next decade will bring a period of rapid learning about how microbes communicate, redistribute materials and regulate activities that have implications for environmental integrity and human health.'
