Zusammenfassung

Die biologische Besiedlung von Sand- und Schlickflächen wirkt auf den ersten Blick sehr viel eintöniger als die Besiedlung von Felsgrund. Natürlich ist dieser Eindruck im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes „oberflächlich“, da ein großer Teil der Sedimentfauna eingegraben lebt. Dennoch ist es kein falscher Eindruck, soweit er sich nur auf makroskopisch erkennbare Tiere und Pflanzen bezieht. Im Bereich der Mikroorganismen ist das Sediment hingegen ein Ort höchster Vielfalt, die sich allerdings nicht so sehr als morphologische, sondern vielmehr als physiologische Vielfalt äußert. Nirgendwo sonst sind auf so engem Raum so viele Grundtypen des Stoffwechsels vertreten wie im Sediment mit seinen steilen RedoxGradienten und seiner räumlichen Überlappung des Auftretens oxidierter und reduzierter Substanzen. Die Vielfalt der Stoffwechseltypen und die daraus resultierenden metabolischen Leistungen der Sedimentbakterien verleihen dem Sediment eine Schlüsselrolle in den biogeochemischen Stoffkreisläufen der Meere und des Gesamtsystems Biosphäre.
