Abstract'Marine biofouling', the undesired growth of marine organisms such as
microorganisms, barnacles and seaweeds on submerged surfaces, is a global problem for …

In the last two decades, the widespread application of genetic and genomic approaches has
revealed a bacterial world astonishing in its ubiquity and diversity. This review examines …

Coralline algae are globally distributed benthic primary producers that secrete calcium
carbonate skeletons. In the context of ocean acidification, they have received much recent …

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 …

Communities of microorganisms form thin coats across solid surfaces in the sea. Larvae of
many marine invertebrates use biofilm components as cues to appropriate settlement sites …

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 …

ABSTRACT The Gram-negative Shewanella bacterial genus currently includes about 70
species of mostly aquatic γ-proteobacteria, which were isolated around the globe in a …

The genus Pseudoalteromonas is a marine group of bacteria belonging to the class
Gammaproteobacteria that has come to attention in the natural product and microbial …

The settlement and colonization of marine organisms on submerged man-made surfaces is
a major economic problem for many marine industries. The most apparent detrimental …
