Quorum sensing is a process of bacterial cell-to-cell chemical communication that relies on
the production, detection and response to extracellular signalling molecules called …

Introduction Numerous bacterial behaviors are regulated by a cell-density dependent
mechanism known as Quorum Sensing (QS). QS relies on communication between bacterial …

With growing environmental pressures placed on our marine habitats there is concern that
the prevalence and severity of diseases affecting marine organisms will increase. Yet …

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 …

I summarize marine studies on plastic versus adaptive responses to global change. Due to
the lack of time series, this review focuses largely on the potential for adaptive evolution in …

Any natural or artificial substratum exposed to seawater is quickly fouled by marine
microorganisms and later by macrofouling species. Microfouling organisms on the surface of …

Despite clear advances in characterizing marine biofilms, details on their formation and
species succession remain scarce particularly during the early stage of development. We …

Eukaryotic hosts are associated with microbial communities that are critical to their function.
Microbiota manipulation using beneficial microorganisms, for example, in the form of animal …

Diverse ecologically important metabolites, such as allelochemicals, infochemicals and
volatile organic chemicals, are involved in marine organismal interactions. Chemically …

Marine natural products (MNPs) exhibit a wide range of pharmaceutically relevant
bioactivities, including antibiotic, antiviral, anticancer, or anti-inflammatory properties …
