Marine biofilms are ubiquitous in the marine environment. These complex microbial
communities rapidly respond to environmental changes and encompass hugely diverse …

Biofouling is the undesirable accumulation of living organisms and their metabolites on
submerged surfaces. Biofouling begins with adhesion of biomacromolecules and/or …

Metamorphosis is a critical process in the life cycle of most marine benthic invertebrates,
determining their transition from plankton to benthos. It affects dispersal and settlement and …

Biofilms serve as crucial cues for settlement and metamorphosis in marine invertebrates.
Within bacterial systems, c-di-GMP functions as a pivotal signaling molecule regulating both …

T6SS plays an important role in biofilm formation, but how bacterial T6SS regulates biofilm
formation and its effect on marine invertebrate settlement is still unclear. Here, the role of …

Despite the importance of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in benthic animal settlement,
the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here, the impact of OMVs and OMVs …

The outer membrane protein (OMP) is a kind of biofilm matrix component that widely exists
in Gram-negative bacteria. However, the mechanism of OMP involved in the settlement of …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are a common bacterial secretion system that facilitates
communication between bacteria and hosts, playing a role in the settlement and …

Bacteria induced metamorphosis observed in nearly all marine invertebrates. However, the
mechanism of bacteria regulating the larvae-juvenile metamorphosis remains unknown …

Coral larval settlement relies on biogenic cues such as those elicited by microbial biofilm
communities, a crucial element of coral recruitment. Eutrophication can modify these biofilm …
