New at C-MORE
“Key Concepts in Microbial Oceanography” PDF available
- This new publication is a poster introducing key concepts in the field of microbial oceanography. The back side forms a brochure featuring an
introduction to C-MORE and brief interviews with C-MORE personnel at various stages (undergraduate, graduate, post-doctoral) in their career
paths in the study of marine micro-organisms. Download the 15.3 MB PDF, or request your copy by emailing

“The most important microbe you've never heard of ”
By some estimates, the oxygen in one out of every five breaths you take comes from a bacterium called Prochlorococcus. Numbering in the
trillion trillions, this tiny microbe is one of the most abundant organisms on Earth. A recent celebration
of the 20th anniversary of its discovery, organized by MIT professor and C-MORE co-PI
Sallie “Penny” Chisholm and UH Oceanography
assistant professor Zackary Johnson, was the subject of a 06-13-08 “NPR
Science Friday” report. Listen to the broadcast and watch the video at NPR Science Friday.

Project Summary
The Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) is a recently established (August 2006) NSF-sponsored Science and Technology Center designed to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the diverse assemblages of microorganisms in the sea, ranging from the genetic basis of marine microbial biogeochemistry including the metabolic regulation and environmental controls of gene expression, to the processes that underpin the fluxes of carbon, related bioelements and energy in the marine environment. Stated holistically, the C-MORE mission is: Linking Genomes to Biomes.
The Center’s activities are coordinated among five partner institutions:
and will be coordinated at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.
