The microbial food web describes the network of trophic interactions among microorganisms in aquatic ecosystems, including viruses, bacteria, algae, and heterotrophic protists. From a broad stance, microorganisms form the base of many aquatic food webs. Photosynthetic microbes such as cyanobacteria, diatoms, and other phytoplankton convert sunlight into organic matter through photosynthesis. Heterotrophic bacteria consume dissolved organic matter, while protists graze on bacteria and small algae. These interactions regulate the transfer of energy and nutrients through processes such as primary production, grazing, decomposition, the microbial loop, and viral lysis. Microbial food webs play a central role in global carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling and strongly influence ecosystem productivity via nutrient cycling in both freshwater and marine ecosystems.
