The assessment and monitoring of microbial plankton biodiversity are essential to obtain a robust evaluation of the health status of marine environments. While bulk marine photosynthetic plankton is a proxy for the fundamental ecological process of primary production, the specific composition of the microbial community is key to unveiling a number of biogeochemical processes such as nitrogen fixat.
