Ocean acidification is a globally recognised phenomenon, but little is known of its impacts on Antarctic marine microbes. Here we report on the community response of pico- and nanophytoplankton, heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) and prokaryotes ( Archaea and Bacteria ) to elevated CO 2 during 3 mi...
