Abstract
Interfaces, the boundaries between heterogeneous phases, are sites of accumulation of organic and inorganic nutrients in an otherwise nutrient-deficient habitat. Solid-liquid, liquid-liquid, and gas-liquid interfaces have a marked influence on the distribution, metabolism, growth, and succession of microorganisms in natural habitats.Keywords
