Global demand for macroalgal and microalgal foods is growing, and algae are increasingly
being consumed for functional benefits beyond the traditional considerations of nutrition and …

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 …

A greater insight on the control of the interactions between microalgae and other
microorganisms, particularly bacteria, should be useful for enhancing the efficiency of …

Algae are a diverse, polyphyletic group of photosynthetic eukaryotes spanning nearly all
eukaryotic lineages of life and collectively responsible for∼ 50% of photosynthesis on Earth …

The microbial mechanisms and key metabolites that shape the composition of the human
gut microbiota are largely unknown, impeding efforts to manipulate dysbiotic microbial …

Abstract Marine Rhodobacteraceae (Alphaproteobacteria) are key players of

Vitamin B 12 is synthesized only by certain bacteria and archaeon, but not by plants. The
synthesized vitamin B 12 is transferred and accumulates in animal tissues, which can occur …

Many algae are auxotrophs for vitamin B12 (cobalamin), which they need as a cofactor for
B12‐dependent methionine synthase (METH). Because only prokaryotes can synthesize the …

Abstract Thiamine (thiamin, B1) is a vitamin necessary for proper cell function. It exists in a
free form as a thiamine, or as a mono-, di-or triphosphate. Thiamine plays a special role in …
