Marine biofilms are ubiquitous in the marine environment. These complex microbial
communities rapidly respond to environmental changes and encompass hugely diverse …

Seaweeds (macroalgae) form a diverse and ubiquitous group of photosynthetic organisms
that play an essential role in aquatic ecosystems. These ecosystem engineers contribute …

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 …

We review research from the last 40 yr on macroalgal–bacterial interactions. Marine
macroalgae have been challenged throughout their evolution by microorganisms and have …

Many eukaryotes are closely associated with bacteria which enable them to expand their
physiological capacities. Associations between algae (photosynthetic eukaryotes) and …

Marine macroalgae produce a wide variety of biologically-active metabolites that have been
developed into commercial products, such as antibiotics, immunosuppressive, anti …

Ulva is a ubiquitous macroalgal genus of commercial interest. Integrated Multi-Trophic
Aquaculture (IMTA) systems promise large-scale production of macroalgae due to their high …

Green macroalgae, such as Ulvales, lose their typical morphology completely when grown
under axenic conditions or in the absence of the appropriate microbiome. As a result, slow …

Following the ban in 2003 on the use of tributyl-tin compounds in antifouling coatings, the
search for an environmentally-friendly alternative has accelerated. Biocidal TBT alternatives …

Epimicrobial communities on seaweed surfaces usually contain not only potentially
pathogenic but also potentially beneficial micro‐organisms. Capacity of terrestrial plants for …
