  • In this Review, the authors discuss the benefits of thinking about the ocean in terms of microniches and advocate the study of global processes on a microscale. Farooq Azam and Francesca Malfatti stress the need to study oceanic microbiologyin situand to use this as a unifying basis for modelling the influence of microorganisms on the structure of marine ecosystems. This might lead to new insights into the regulation of primary production and carbon cycling.

  • Recalcitrant dissolved organic matter is now known to be a key element in the global carbon cycle. Here, Nianzhi Jiao and colleagues set out the role of ocean-dwelling microorganisms in the generation of this pool of long-lived carbon, using a new concept they call the microbial carbon pump.

  • In this Review, Fuhrman and colleagues summarize our current understanding of marine microbial community dynamics at various scales — from hours to decades — and consider how long-term time series illustrate important ecological concepts such as community resilience and seasonality, as well as interactions among microorganisms in the global oceans.

  • Not all isolates of a species contain the same set of genes. In this Opinion article, Rodriguez-Valera and colleagues propose the constant-diversity model to account for these differences. In this model, predation by phages promotes bacterial diversity and allows more efficient use of the nutrients in the environment.
