The microbial communities associated with seaweeds remain underexplored, despite their
enormous biodiversity and the fact that they differ significantly from their free-living …

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 …

Epiphytic bacteria on the surfaces of submerged macrophytes play important roles in the
growth of the host plant, nutrient cycling, and the conversion of pollutants in aquatic systems …

Enzymes synthesized by the gut microbiome are recognized as vital for assisting host
metabolism. This study was conducted to screen and identify bacterial isolates with enzyme …

Macroalgal surface constitutes a peculiar ecological niche and an advantageous substratum
for microorganisms able to degrade the wide diversity of algal glycans. The degrading …

Seaweeds of the genus Ulva are valuable marine resources, serving as food, biofilters,
biomass for biofuels, and sources of bioactive metabolites. Cultivating Ulva in land-based …

Marine macroalgae are the habitat of epiphytic bacteria and provide several conditions for a
beneficial biological interaction to thrive. Although Bacillus is one of the most abundant …

Improving the availability of new sources of probiotics is essential to continue implementing
alternative solutions to improve coral health; one such source is urban corals. However, little …

Bacteria of the genus Bacillus are ubiquitous in nature and produce several antimicrobial
compounds, being increasingly used in plant biocontrol. The objective of this study was to …

Microorganisms living on marine macroalgal surfaces require enzyme repertoires to
