We review research from the last 40 yr on macroalgal–bacterial interactions. Marine
macroalgae have been challenged throughout their evolution by microorganisms and have …

Kelps are dominant primary producers in temperate coastal ecosystems. Large amounts of
kelp biomass can be exported to the seafloor during the algal growth cycle or following …

Larger numbers of bacteria capable of utilizing products of macroalgae were found in water
associated with algal vegetation, than in water without algal growth. Cellulose-, alginate …

Samples were taken from three parts of the frond of Laminaria digitata, from algal particulate
fragments and from ambient seawater, over a period of 13 months on the coasts of Brittany …

Previous studies on Antarctic seawater have demonstrated the presence of significant
numbers of bacteria, but their in situ activity has not been demonstrated. In order to …

Previous antarctic studies have pointed out the ecological importance of ornithogenic soils.
However, few data exist to determine the impact of such guanoenriched soils on …

Quantitative investigations of bacteriological and organic matter parameters were conducted
regularly at least once a week for a year at three subAntarctic benthic stations. The different …

Mesocosm studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of dispersed oil on total and
heterotrophic bacterial communities of under-ice seawater from the St. Lawrence Estuary. A …

The Diptera are one of the dominant insect consumer groups on sub-Antarctic islands and
are thought to contribute significantly to terrestrial ecological processes at many of these …

Abstract From December 1982 to February 1985 systematic observations of heterotrophic
bacterial populations were recorded for a nearshore marine sediment of Kerguelen …
