An international team of marine scientists has started confronting the mammoth challenge of cataloging and exploring the biodiversity of the marine microbe as part of a $1 billion, 10-year "Census of Marine Life" project.
The sub-project "International Census of Marine Microbes," led by Dutch and U.S. scientists, aims to lay out what is known, what is not known and what may never be found out about the oceans' microorganisms and their viruses.
Stal's institute, the U.S. Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) and the Royal Netherlands Institute of Sea Research are coordinating the project, which also includes scientists from Germany, Spain, France and Japan.
