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 …

Abstract SulfAtlas (https://sulfatlas. sb-roscoff. fr/) is a knowledge-based resource dedicated
to a sequence-based classification of sulfatases. Currently four sulfatase families exist (S1 …

Background Macroalgal epiphytic microbial communities constitute a rich resource for novel
enzymes and compounds, but studies so far largely focused on tag-based microbial diversity …

Brown algae are important players in the global carbon cycle by fixing carbon dioxide into 1
Gt of biomass annually, yet the fate of fucoidan—their major cell wall polysaccharide …

Brown algae annually convert gigatons of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, including the
complex extracellular matrix polysaccharide fucoidan. Due to its persistence in the …

Background Blooms of marine microalgae play a pivotal role in global carbon cycling. Such
blooms entail successive blooms of specialized clades of planktonic bacteria that …

Unicellular eukaryotic phytoplankton, such as diatoms, rely on microbial communities for
survival despite lacking specialized compartments to house microbiomes (eg, animal gut) …

Bacteroidetes are abundant pathogen-suppressing members of the plant microbiome that
contribute prominently to rhizosphere phosphorus mobilisation, a frequent growth-limiting …

We investigated Bacteroidetes during spring algae blooms in the southern North Sea in
2010–2012 using a time series of 38 deeply sequenced metagenomes. Initial partitioning …

Sponges underpin the productivity of coral reefs, yet few of their microbial symbionts have
been functionally characterised. Here we present an analysis of~ 1200 metagenome …
