The cycling of major nutrients in the ocean is affected by large-scale phytoplankton blooms,
which are hot spots of microbial life. Diverse microbial interactions regulate bloom dynamics …

Algae synthesise structurally complex glycans to build a protective barrier, the extracellular
matrix. One function of matrix glycans is to slow down microorganisms that try to …

Microbial consortia exhibit complex functional properties in contexts ranging from soils to
bioreactors to human hosts. Understanding how community composition determines …

Advances in bioanalytical technologies are constantly expanding our insights into complex
ecosystems. Here, we highlight strategies and applications that make use of non-targeted …

Habitats with intermittent flooding, such as paddy soils, are crucial reservoirs in the global
carbon pool; however, the effect of phage–host interactions on the biogeochemical cycling …

Phytoplankton blooms provoke bacterioplankton blooms, from which bacterial biomass
(necromass) is released via increased zooplankton grazing and viral lysis. While bacterial …

Microbial metabolism upholds a fundamental role in the sustainability of water ecosystems.
However, how microorganisms surviving in low-concentration substrate water environments …

As it is well known, the gut is one of the primary sites in any host for xenobiotics, and the
many microbial metabolites responsible for the interactions between the gut microbiome and …

Algae and bacteria have complex and intimate interactions in the ocean. Besides mutualism,
bacteria have evolved a variety of molecular-based anti-algal strategies. However, limited by …

While the field of microbial biogeography has largely focused on the contributions of abiotic
factors to community patterns, the potential influence of biotic interactions in structuring …
