The Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology is located in Bremen, Germany. It was founded in 1992, almost a year after the foundation of its sister institute, the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology at Marburg.[1] In 1996, the institute moved into new buildings at the campus of the University of Bremen. It is one of 80 institutes in the Max Planck Society (Max Planck Gesellschaft).

Currently, the institute consists of three departments with several associated research groups:

  • Biogeochemistry
  • Molecular Ecology
  • Symbiosis

Additionally, the following research groups reside in the institute.[2]

  • Microbial Physiology
  • Greenhouse Gases
  • Microbial Genomics and Bioinformatics
  • Flow Cytometry
  • Metabolic Interactions
  • Microsensors
  • HGF MPG Joint Research Group for Deep-Sea Ecology and Technology
  • MARUM MPG Bridge Group Marine Glycobiology
  • Max Planck Research Group Microbial Metabolism
  • Marine Geochemistry Group
  • Max Planck Research Group for Marine Isotope Geochemistry
