AME - Vol. 53, No. 1 - Table of contents

AME SPECIAL 1:

This first AME SPECIAL is based on the 10th meeting of the Symposium on Aquatic Microbial Ecology (SAME 10). It brings together a set of interesting and diverse papers covering a wide range of ecosystems- including open and coastal oceans, estuaries and freshwaters-as well as most microbial components, from planktonic prokaryotes and protists to benthic and biofilm communities. AME SPECIAL 1 aims to provide a wide spectrum of readers with a synthesis and critical analysis of a range of key contemporary issues in our discipline, including new discoveries and paradigm shifts, cutting-edge technical developments and specific examples of current ecological problems.
