The cycling of major nutrients in the ocean is affected by large-scale phytoplankton blooms,
which are hot spots of microbial life. Diverse microbial interactions regulate bloom dynamics …

Algae and bacteria have co-occurred and coevolved in common habitats for hundreds of
millions of years, fostering specific associations and interactions such as mutualism or …

The bloom and bust patterns of microalgae in aquatic systems contribute massively to global
biogeochemical cycles. The decline of algal blooms is mainly caused by nutrient limitation …

Microalgae that form phytoplankton live and die in a complex microbial consortium in which
they co-exist with bacteria and other microorganisms. The dynamics of species succession …

Interactions amongst marine microalgae and heterotrophic bacteria drive processes
underlying major biogeochemical cycles and are important for many artificial systems. These …

This comprehensive review explores the escalating challenge of nutrient enrichment in
aquatic ecosystems, spotlighting the dire ecological threats posed by harmful algal blooms …

The phycosphere is a unique niche that fosters complex interactions between microalgae
and associated bacteria. The formation of this extracellular environment, and the associated …

Cyanobacterial blooms threaten the quality and safety of the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir
sinensis. A combination of microalgae and probiotics seems a promising way to prevent and …

In microbial consortia bacteria often settle on other organisms that provide nutrients and
organic material for their growth. This is true for the plankton where microalgae perform …

Plankton parasites such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and unicellular eukaryotes are
associated symbionts colonizing algal groups in aquatic ecosystems. They occur within a …
