Microbial ecology of the dark ocean above, at, and below the seafloor
The majority of life on Earth—notably, microbial life—occurs in places that do not receive
sunlight, with the habitats of the oceans being the largest of these reservoirs. Sunlight …

Marine fungi: their ecology and molecular diversity
Fungi appear to be rare in marine environments. There are relatively few marine isolates in
culture, and fungal small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) sequences are rarely …
