Major losses of crop yield and quality caused by soil-borne plant diseases have long
threatened the ecology and economy of agriculture and forestry. Biological control using …

Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

Phytoplankton communities within the photic zones of the oceans and lakes are
characterised by highly complex assemblages of unicellular microalgae and associated …

The proliferation of antibiotic-resistance genes is a result of the rise in the discharge of
residual antibiotics into waterbodies from a variety of sources. Antibiotic removal by …

The cycling of major nutrients in the ocean is affected by large-scale phytoplankton blooms,
which are hot spots of microbial life. Diverse microbial interactions regulate bloom dynamics …

In both freshwater and marine ecosystems, phytoplankton are the most dominant primary
producers, contributing substantially to aquatic food webs. Algicidal bacteria that can …

Microbes are ubiquitously distributed, and they are also present in algae production
systems. The algal microbiome is a pivotal part of the alga holobiont and has a key role in …

Microbial interactions govern marine biogeochemistry. These interactions are generally
considered to rely on exchange of organic molecules. Here we report on a novel inorganic …

Interactions between bacteria and phytoplankton in the phycosphere have impacts at the
scale of whole ecosystems, including the development of harmful algal blooms. The …

Many microbial secondary metabolites have been studied for decades primarily because of
their antimicrobial properties. However, several of these metabolites also possess …
