Love at first taste: induction of larval settlement by marine microbes
S Dobretsov, D Rittschof - International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 - mdpi.com
Marine biofilms are composed of many species of bacteria, unicellular algae, and protozoa.
Biofilms can induce, inhibit, or have no effect on settlement of larvae and spores of algae. In …

Marine biofilms as mediators of colonization by marine macroorganisms: implications for antifouling and aquaculture
In the marine environment, biofilms on submerged surfaces can promote or discourage the
settlement of invertebrate larvae and macroalgal spores. The settlement-mediating effects of …

Marine biofilms: diversity of communities and of chemical cues
Surfaces immersed in seawater are rapidly colonized by various microorganisms, resulting
in the formation of heterogenic marine biofilms. These communities are known to influence …

Larval settlement of the common Australian sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma in response to bacteria from the surface of coralline algae
Bacterial biofilms are increasingly seen as important for the successful settlement of marine
invertebrate larvae. Here we tested the effects of biofilms on settlement of the sea urchin …
