Microbial Communities of the North Atlantic and the 3rd Dimension of the Logatchev Hydrothermal Field - Cruise N0. MSM03 - September 20 - November 30, 2006 Reykjavik (Island) - Fort-de-France (France)
The main goal of Leg 1 of MSM03 was to study the diversity, structure and function of the microbial community including bacterioplankton, phytoplankton and virioplankton in the top 500 m of the North Atlantic Ocean. The scientific party included 22 scientists from Germany, the UK, and the USA and wa...
