Synopsis:
Organisms that are small and cannot be seen with the naked eye are classified as microorganisms. Microorganisms or microbes consist of three domains of living things namely archae, bacteria and eukarya. Its existence on earth is very large when compared to the number of other living things. Microbes can be found in all places, both in soil, water including the sea and air, even in the bodies of other living things. Microbes in the sea can be found from the surface to the seabed, or live in symbiosis with marine organisms. The interesting thing about marine microbes is the material they contain and produce. These materials have an important role that can be utilized by humans. In the marine environment, microbes can play a role in the process of biodegradation and bioremediation of marine pollutants. Microbes can decompose pollutants, where pollutant compounds are utilized by microorganisms as a source of nutrition for their growth.
