Recent advances in studying the dynamics of marine microbial communities have shown that the composition of these communities follows predictable patterns and involves complex network interactions, which shed light on the underlying processes regulating these globally important organisms. Such 'holistic' (or organism- and system-based) studies of these communities complement popular reductionist, often culture-based, approaches for understanding organism function one gene or protein at a time. In this Review, we summarize our current understanding of marine microbial community dynamics at various scales, from hours to decades. We also explain how the data illustrate community resilience and seasonality, and reveal interactions among microorganisms.
近年来，海洋微生物群落动态的研究进展表明，这些群落的组成遵循可预测的模式，并涉及复杂的网络相互作用，这揭示了调控这些全球重要生物的潜在过程。这种对这些群落的“整体”（或基于生物和系统）研究补充了流行的、基于还原论的、逐个基因或蛋白质的方法，以理解生物功能。在这篇综述中，我们总结了目前对海洋微生物群落动态的各种尺度（从几小时到几十年）的理解。我们还解释了这些数据如何说明群落的弹性和季节性，并揭示了微生物之间的相互作用。
