The goal of the current article is to update new findings in membrane fouling and emerging
fouling mitigation strategies reported in recent years (post 2010) as a follow-up to our …

Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

The complex carbohydrates of terrestrial and marine biomass represent a rich nutrient
source for free-living and mutualistic microbes alike. The enzymatic saccharification of these …

Polysaccharides are major components of macroalgal and phytoplankton biomass and
constitute a large fraction of the organic matter produced and degraded in the ocean. Until …

Within the wealth of molecules constituting marine dissolved organic matter, carbohydrates
make up the largest coherent and quantifiable fraction. Their main sources are from primary …

Microorganisms play crucial roles in maintaining ecosystem stability. The last two decades
have witnessed an upsurge in studies on marine microbial community composition using …

Identifying the roles played by individual heterotrophic bacteria in the degradation of high
molecular weight (HMW) substrates is critical to understanding the constraints on carbon …

Brown macroalgae have attracted great attention as an alternative feedstock for biorefining.
Although direct conversion of ethanol from alginates (major components of brown …

Algae synthesise structurally complex glycans to build a protective barrier, the extracellular
matrix. One function of matrix glycans is to slow down microorganisms that try to …

Studies of the coral microbiome predominantly characterize the microbial community of the
host species as a collective, rather than that of the individual. This ecological perspective on …
