Many eukaryotes are closely associated with bacteria which enable them to expand their
physiological capacities. Associations between algae (photosynthetic eukaryotes) and …

All surfaces that are submerged in the sea rapidly become covered by a biofilm. This
process, called biofouling, has substantial economic consequences. Paints containing tri …

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

Every surface immersed in the sea rapidly becomes covered with a biofilm. On inanimate
surfaces, this is often followed by colonisation by larger organisms, and general …

Problems with tin and copper antifouling compounds have highlighted the need to develop
new environmentally friendly antifouling coatings. Bacteria isolated from living surfaces in …

Several bacterial cultures were isolated from sponge Halichondria sp., collected from the
Gujarat coast of the Indo Pacific region. These bacterial cultures were fermented in the …

An air-membrane surface (AMS) bioreactor was designed to allow bacteria to grow attached
to a surface as a biofilm in contact with air. When Bacillus licheniformis strain EI-34-6 …

A modified roller bottle culture method elicited the production of antimicrobial compounds
from 2 epibiotic marine bacterial strains, EI-34-6 and II-111-5, isolated from the surface of the …

Despite the ubiquity of bacteria in the marine environment little is known about the structure
and function of microbial communities associated with marine ma‐croorganisms. Using a …

Ecological problems associated with current antifouling technologies have increased
interest in the natural strategies that marine organisms use to keep their surfaces clean and …
