Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology

The Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology is a research organization focused on studying tiny organisms in the oceans, such as bacteria and viruses. These microorganisms play crucial roles in Earth's ecosystems, influencing climate, nutrient cycles, and marine health. The institute conducts advanced scientific research to understand their functions, interactions, and responses to environmental changes. By doing so, it aims to improve our knowledge of ocean ecosystems and their impact on the global environment, contributing to scientific progress and sustainable management of marine resources. Located in Bremen, Germany, it collaborates internationally to advance marine microbiology.
