Marine macrophytes are the foundation of algal forests and seagrass meadows–some of the
most productive and diverse coastal marine ecosystems on the planet. These ecosystems …

Macroalgae are photosynthetic, multicellular, sessile eukaryotic organisms that offer diverse
habitats for the colonization of epiphytic bacteria, therefore establishing biological …

With each cell division, phytoplankton create new space for primary colonization by marine
bacteria. Although this surface microenvironment is available to all planktonic bacterial …

Although the pollution of coral reefs by microplastics (MPs) is an environmental problem of
global significance, the effects of MP concentration on scleractinian corals remain largely …

Interrelations between epiphytic bacteria and macroalgae are multifaceted and complicated,
though little is known about the community structure, interaction and functions of those …

Tropical reefs are commonly transitioning from coral to macroalgal dominance, but the role
of macroalgae in coral decline remains inadequately understood. A growing body of …

An integrative multi‐omics approach allowed monthly variations for a year of the surface
metabolome and the epibacterial community of the Mediterranean Phaeophyceae Taonia …

In studies on coral–algal interactions, particular attention has been devoted to corals.
Focusing on the macroalgal genus Lobophora (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae), common on …

Pervasive environmental stressors on coral reefs are attributed with shifting the competitive
balance in favor of alternative dominants, such as macroalgae. Previous studies have …

The macroalgae surface allows specific bacterial communities to colonize, resulting in
complex biological interactions. In recent years, several researchers have studied the …
