Seaweeds (macroalgae) form a diverse and ubiquitous group of photosynthetic organisms
that play an essential role in aquatic ecosystems. These ecosystem engineers contribute …

Seaweed-associated bacteria play a crucial role in morphogenesis and growth of seaweeds
(macroalgae) in direct and/or indirect ways. Bacterial communities belonging to the phyla …

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

Green Ulvacean marine macroalgae are distributed worldwide in coastal tidal and subtidal
ecosystems. As for many living surfaces in the marine environment, little is known …

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

Marine microorganisms have become an important point of study in the search for novel
microbial products. Today, both academic and industrial interest in marine microorganisms …

Pseudoalteromonas tunicata is a biofilm-forming marine bacterium that is often found in
association with the surface of eukaryotic organisms. It produces a range of extracellular …

Seasonal variations of the cell density and bacterial community composition in biofilms
growing on the surface of the kelp Laminaria hyperborea from 2 sites on the southwestern …

When studying the effects of climate change on eukaryotic organisms we often oversee a
major ecological process: the interaction with microbes. Eukaryotic hosts and microbes form …

Macroalgae are photosynthetic, multicellular, sessile eukaryotic organisms that offer diverse
habitats for the colonization of epiphytic bacteria, therefore establishing biological …
