- Bonanza Creek Microbial Observatory
The goals of the Microbial Observatory are to describe the diversity of the microbial life in the soil and discover mechanisms by which microbes in the soil extract phosphorous from the environment.

- Itasca State Park Microbial Observatory
The goals of this project are to identify new species of coccoid algae and to investigate the distribution and ecology of these organisms.

- Microbial Observatory at the H. J. Andrews LTER
Dedicated to the study of bacteria and fungi central to biogeochemical processes in coniferous forest ecosystems in the Central Cascade Mountains of Oregon.

- Microbial Observatory for Virioplankton Ecology
A goal of this microbial observatory is to investigate the role of viruses in the annual biological cycle of a temperate estuary, the Chesapeake Bay.

- Mono Lake Microbial Observatory
The primary goal of the proposed research is to examine the distributions of Mono Lake microbes and to understand the response of microbial assemblages to the gradients of physical and chemical variables in relation to temporal changes driven by hydrodynamics.

- North Temperate Lakes Microbial Observatory
Advancing the understanding of lake bacterioplankton, whose diversity and population dynamics are currently the least understood off all freshwater planktonic organisms.
http://microbes.limnology.wisc.edu/
- Salt Plains Microbial Observatory
Using a combination of classic microbiology techniques and leading-edge genetic techniques to characterize microbial communities (bacteria and algae) and study how they survive in such a harsh environment.

- San Salvador Microbial Observatory
The overall research objective of this study will be to assess the influence water availability has on structural diversification, community composition, production, and carbon sequestration in microbial mats.

- Sapelo Island Microbial Observatory
Investigating the diversity of prokaryotes, their physiological and genetic characteristics, and their biogeochemical activities in a salt marsh/estuarine ecosystem in the southeastern U.S.

- The Duke Forest Mycological Observatory
Providing new information about the diversity and ecology of fungi and other microorganisms from forest ecosystems.

- The Oceanic Microbial Observatory
One of the goals of the microbial observatory is to better understand the linkages between microbial biodiversity and biogeochemical processes.

- Tropical Caterpillars Microbial Observatory
The long-term goal is to study the dynamics and function of microorganisms in the feeding preferences, habits, development, and nutrition of herbivorous caterpillars.
