In spite of attractive attributes, diatoms are underrepresented in research and literature
related to the development of microalgal biofuels. Diatoms are highly diverse and have …

Marine caves are biodiversity reservoirs and refuge habitats, harbouring rare species and
living fossils. The Mediterranean Sea hosts more than 3000 caves, which are among the …

Diatoms are unicellular photosynthetic protists which constitute one of the most successful
microalgae contributing enormously to global primary productivity and nutrient cycles in …

Diatoms are microalgae well known for their high variability and high primary productivity,
being responsible for about 20% of the annual global carbon fixation. Moreover, they are …

Diatoms are major players in the global carbon cycle, and their metabolism is affected by
ocean conditions. Understanding the impact of changing inorganic nutrients in the oceans …

Natural and artificial substrata immersed in the marine environment are typically colonized
by microorganisms, which may moderate the settlement/recruitment of algal spores and …

The green marine macroalga, Ulva linza, adopts an “atypical” form when grown in the
absence of bacteria. Twenty unique strains of periphytic bacteria, isolated from three species …

Human-induced global change is expected to amplify the disease risk for marine biota.
However, the role of disease in the rapid global decline of seagrass is largely unknown …

In the marine environment, the bacteria that colonize the surface of a seaweed affect its
growth and development. In the laboratory, several seaweeds do not develop normal foliose …

Overwhelming evidence suggests that seagrass ecosystems are declining around the world.
Pathogens from the genus Labyrinthula have repeatedly been found to cause disease in a …
