| Abstract | Microbes are master manipulators of metabolites in the sea, promoting nutrient recycling through mineralization of organic matter, and transformation of organic matter via enzymatic activity. Reef-associated microbes play key roles in nitrogen fixation, nitrification, transformation of dimethylsulfoniopropionate into amino and nucleic acids, iron scavenging, and synthesis of B vitamins, contributing widely to the exchange of mineral nutrients and cofactors essential for reef fauna.
