Interactions at sea: on the microbiome life-cycle and biogeochemical processes.

ABSTRACT: The marine phycosphere is a microscale mucosal region of microbiomes surrounding a phytoplankton cell. The phycosphere (analogous to the terrestrial rhizosphere) is where microbial interactions navigate the biochemistry of the sea. The study of this microsphere deals with the causal relation enigma between two spatiotemporal scales: the micro-communal interactions and the macro-level of the biogeochemical cycles (Stocker, Science, 338(6107), 628-633, 2012); Segev et al., eLife, 5, e17473, 2016; Seymour et al., Nature Microbiology 2, Article 17065, 2017). This study of communities and ecosystems looks at metabolic interactions and interdependence relations, not focusing on biodiversity as the object of study. Following marine microbial ecology, an epistemic view of interactions and inter-co
