MPI (Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology)

The Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology (MPI-Mi) is a research organization in Germany that studies tiny microorganisms living in the oceans. These microbes are crucial for Earth's health because they influence climate, support food chains, and help cycle nutrients. The institute explores how these microscopic life forms function, interact, and impact the planet's marine ecosystems. Their work helps us understand climate change, ocean health, and the fundamental processes maintaining life in the sea. Overall, MPI-Mi aims to uncover the secrets of marine microbes to better protect and sustain our oceans and the global environment.
