Understanding the effects of time and space on microbial communities is a central theme in Marine Microbial Ecology. The speakers in this FEMS Microbiology Ecology  webinar will describe some key biogeochemical processes: consumption and production of amino acids and fatty acid metabolites on hourly scales in coastal sediments; the influence of a 4-month exposure to different intertidal regions on gut communities in farmed clams and oysters; and a transcriptomic study of 10-15 million year old sediments from the North Atlantic.
