  • Title: The Landscape of Global Ocean Microbiome: From Bacterioplankton to Biofilms.
    Author: Lu J, Shu Y, Zhang H, Zhang S, Zhu C, Ding W, Zhang W.
    Journal: Int J Mol Sci; 2023 Mar 30; 24(7):. PubMed ID: 37047466.
    Abstract:
    The development of metagenomics has opened up a new era in the study of marine microbiota, which play important roles in biogeochemical cycles. In recent years, the global ocean sampling expeditions have spurred this research field toward a deeper understanding of the microbial diversities and functions spanning various lifestyles, planktonic (free-living) or sessile (biofilm-associated). In this review, we deliver a comprehensive summary of marine microbiome datasets generated in global ocean expeditions conducted over the last 20 years, including the Sorcerer II GOS Expedition, the Tara Oceans project, the bioGEOTRACES project, the Micro B3 project, the Bio-GO-SHIP project, and the Marine Biofilms. These datasets have revealed unprecedented insights into the microscopic life in our oceans and led to the publication of world-leading research. We also note the progress of metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics, which are confined to local marine microbiota. Furthermore, approaches to transforming the global ocean microbiome datasets are highlighted, and the state-of-the-art techniques that can be combined with data analyses, which can present fresh perspectives on marine molecular ecology and microbiology, are proposed.
