Marine Microorganisms, Biogeochemical Cycles, and Global Climate Change
The oceans maintain critical ecosystems that, ultimately, determine the habitability of the planet. Moreover, unicellular eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea are the most abundant organisms within those ecosystems and thus the dominant biomass within the oceans, situated at the base of the food cha...

BioCyc: Microbial Genomes and Cellular Networks
Genome sequencing capabilities and capacity are so advanced that the genomes of virtually all microbial species of interest are likely to be deciphered during the next decade. Improved means for interpreting and applying this sequence information enhance its value. The BioCyc database collection ...
