Diatom–bacteria interactions evolved during more than 200 million years of coexistence in
the same environment. In this time frame, they established complex and heterogeneous …

Algae and bacteria have co-occurred and coevolved in common habitats for hundreds of
millions of years, fostering specific associations and interactions such as mutualism or …

This Editorial introduces the Virtual Issue 'Chemical language of plant–microbe–microbe
associations' that includes the following papers: Basak et al.(2024), Böttner et al.(2023) …

Noctiluca scintillans (red) is a widely distributed heterotrophic dinoflagellate and a
prominent red tide forming species. This study investigated the effects of Noctiluca blooms …

Increased accessibility of liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolomics
instrumentation and software have expanded their use in studies of dissolved organic matter …

Diatoms are single-celled photosynthetic eukaryotes responsible for CO2 fixation and
primary production in aquatic ecosystems. The cosmopolitan marine diatom Coscinodiscus …

The ecological dynamics of particle-attached bacteria (PAB) were observed through
changes in the core phytoplankton phycosphere, and were associated with the dynamics of …

Microalgae are a promising platform for the sustainable production of high-value
compounds, while also serving as robust degraders of toxic pollutants that accumulate in …

Ocean microbes are the foundation of marine food webs, regulating carbon cycling and
ecosystem dynamics. How they proliferate, die, move, and interact is regulated by physical …

Biotic interactions between microbes underpin marine ecosystem health, governing the flux
of carbon and other nutrients in the ocean. However, studying aquatic microbial interactions …
