By controlling nutrient cycling and biomass production at the base of the food web,
interactions between phytoplankton and bacteria represent a fundamental ecological …

BACKGROUND Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation, the reduction of atmospheric N2 to
ammonia, is important for maintaining the fertility of the oceans by providing biologically …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

Cyanobacteria are the only prokaryotes to have evolved oxygenic photosynthesis,
transforming the biology and chemistry of our planet. Genomic and evolutionary studies …

Diatoms and bacteria have cooccurred in common habitats for hundreds of millions of years,
thus fostering specific associations and interactions with global biogeochemical …

Nitrogen (N) is used in many of life's fundamental biomolecules, and it is also a participant in
environmental redox chemistry. Biogeochemical processes control the amount and form of N …

Literature covered: early 2000s to late 2017 Bacteria frequently exchange metabolites with
other micro-and macro-organisms. In these often obligate cross-feeding interactions, primary …

BACKGROUND Marine ecosystems are composed of a diverse array of life forms, the
majority of which are unicellular—archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. The power of these …

A greater insight on the control of the interactions between microalgae and other
microorganisms, particularly bacteria, should be useful for enhancing the efficiency of …

Photosynthetic microalgae can capture solar energy and convert it to bioenergy and
biochemical products. In nature or industrial processes, microalgae live together with …
