La asombrosa diversidad de vida en los océanos del mundo actual no existiría o tomaría formas muy diferentes, si no fuera por millones de años de interacción con los microbios. Para comprender verdaderamente cómo se originó la diversidad biológica, cómo coexisten las especies y cómo los organismos se enfrentan al cambio global, debemos estudiar cómo los microbios coevolucionan con sus hospederos.
