GWANGJU, South Korea, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The ocean is a global life-support system, and climate change causes such as ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation, and nitrogen-deposition alter the delicate microbial population in oceans. The marine microbial community plays an important role in the production of greenhouse gases like nitrous oxide and methane. Scientists at Incheon National University have explored the climate change impact on marine microbes. Their research helps raise awareness about climate change severity and the importance of ocean resources.

Key Points: 
  • The marine microbial community plays an important role in the production of greenhouse gases like nitrous oxide and methane.
  • Scientists at Incheon National University have explored the climate change impact on marine microbes.
