Microorganisms play key roles in ocean biogeochemistry. However, several
predominant groups of uncultured bacterioplankton thought to contribute to
important biogeochemical processes in the oceans are known primarily from gene
cloning studies. Although these studies have greatly expanded our view of
microbial diversity in the oceans, they are not quantitative and...
