The Laboratory for Microbial Oceanography (Hawaii)

The Laboratory for Microbial Oceanography is a research unit within the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The Laboratory for Microbial Oceanography conducts basic research on microbial inhabitants of the sea, including bacteria, protozoans and unicellular algae. These studies range in scope from the development of novel techniques to assess in situ microbial biomass, activity and growth, to comprehensive field studies designed to elucidate the mechanisms and rates of microbiological cycling of C, N and P.
