(Natural News) Though small in size, the impact of ocean microbes is enormous. Not only do they act as the foundation for marine-based food chains, but they also play important roles in the oxygen cycle. Yet, scientists believe that we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface. The full extent of their influence is a continuing subject of interest for oceanographers like Edward DeLong and David Karl, who have committed decades of research work to these microorganisms. Aiding them in their endeavors are unlikely but helpful allies: a trio of self-driving robots.
