摘要

Marine bacteria are present almost everywhere in the ocean environment and are essential to many biogeochemical processes. The perspectives of ecologists and evolutionary biologists on the significance of microbes in ecosystem function are shifting as a result of exploring the marine microbiomes. This is especially true in ocean habitats, where microbes comprise the bulk of the biomass and are responsible for the majority of the planet's key biogeochemical cycles, including those that influence the global climate. Emerging research suggests that many ecosystem services provided by coastal marine environments depend on intricate interactions between groups of microbes and the environment or their hosts. The structure, variety, and functional capability of marine microbial populations have been revealed on a global scale thanks to recent developments in molecular ecology techniques. Over-recent-decades, industrialization and urbanization have led to widespread contamination of oceans. These contaminants accumulate in seawater and sediments, particularly in coastal areas, posing risks to marine ecosystems and human health. Marine microorganisms possess diverse catalytic abilities and extreme environmental tolerance, making them suitable for bioremediation of toxins. Effective-degradation of pollutants often depends on syntrophic-interactions within microbial communities, highlighting the importance of understanding their collaboration and communication for marine resource management. Here, we assess the current level of knowledge about marine microbiome research and highlight key issues within this developing field of study. The review aims to enhance understanding of marine microbiome's roles and potential uses in biogeochemical analysis, biotechnology, and environmental remediation, which could support sustainable and circular business models for future generations.
