Algae and bacteria have coexisted ever since the early stages of evolution. This coevolution
has revolutionized life on earth in many aspects. Algae and bacteria together influence …

The microbial contribution to ecological resilience is still largely overlooked in coral reef
ecology. Coral-associated bacteria serve a wide variety of functional roles with reference to …

Although the early coral reef-bleaching warning system (NOAA/USA) is established, there is
no feasible treatment that can minimize temperature bleaching and/or disease impacts on …

Corals are considered one of the most complex microbial biospheres studied to date,
hosting thousands of bacterial phylotypes in species-specific associations. There are …

Coral reef ecosystems are remarkable for their high productivity in nutrient-poor waters. A
high proportion of primary production is consumed by the dominant herbivore assemblage …

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

Global warming and ocean acidification are forecast to exert significant impacts on marine
ecosystems worldwide. However, most of these projections are based on ecological proxies …

The microbial spoilage of meat and seafood products with short shelf lives is responsible for
a significant amount of food waste. Food spoilage is a very heterogeneous process …

In the aquatic environment, biofilms on solid surfaces are omnipresent. The outer body
surface of marine organisms often represents a highly active interface between host and …

Zooxanthellate corals (ie those harbouring Symbiodinium) are the main builders of the
world's shallow‐water marine coral reefs. They represent intimate diverse symbioses …
