Microorganisms, including unicellular algae, bacteria,viruses, protozoans, and small metazoans, are vital com ponents of southern ocean habitats (Karl 1993). They are largely responsible for the production and decomposition of organic matter, for the primary uptake and regeneration of inorganic nutr...
