International Census of Marine Microbes - ICoMM

The International Census of Marine Microbes (ICoMM) will facilitate the inventory of marine microbial diversity. It will develop a strategy to (1) catalogue all known diversity of single-cell organisms inclusive of the Bacteria, Archaea, Protista and associated viruses, (2) explore and discover unknown microbial diversity, and (3) place that knowledge into appropriate ecological and evolutionary contexts.
