Description

Tara microbiome is the latest Tara expedition focused on plankton. The Microbiome Mission will help us understand the services provided by this essential ecosystem of the Ocean, its microbiome, an increasingly crucial challenge for scientific research and is done in conjunction with the AtlantECO program where additional ships will collect similar variables.
