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 …

Simple Summary Green sea lettuce (Ulva spp.), with its worldwide distribution and
remarkable ability to grow rapidly under a range of conditions, represents an important …

Bacteria degrading algal polysaccharides are key players in the global carbon cycle and in
algal biomass recycling. Yet the water column, which has been studied largely by …

Most marine macroalgae live attached to a substrate in coastal areas characterized by a
very variable environment mainly due to the tide cycle which is more or less important …

The microbiome of macroalgae facilitates their adaptation to environmental stress. As
bacteria release algal growth and morphogenesis promoting factors (AGMPFs), which are …

The green seaweed Ulva is a model system to study seaweed–bacteria interactions, but the
impact of environmental drivers on the dynamics of these interactions is little understood. In …

The brown alga Fucus vesiculosus is a keystone marine species, which is subject to heavy
surface colonisation. This study was designed to analyse the surface epibiome of F …

The scyphozoan Aurelia aurita is recognized as a key player in marine ecosystems and a
driver of ecosystem change. It is thus intensely studied to address ecological questions …

Macroalgal surfaces support abundant and diverse microorganisms within biofilms, which
are often involved in fundamental functions relating to the health and defense of their …

Marine macroalgae constitute an important living resource in marine ecosystems and
complex ecological interactions occur at their surfaces with microbial communities. In this …
