Oxidative stress reshapes diatom-microbiome interactions by shifting benefits from mutualistic to opportunistic bacteria

This study shows oxidative stress shifts diatom-bacteria interactions from mutualistic to opportunistic by altering nutrient transfer and bacterial resource acquisition strategies.

Spatially structured competition and cooperation alters algal carbon flow to bacteria

The paper investigates microbial interactions in algal systems, finding that cooperation, not just competition, significantly influences carbon flow from algae to bacteria.

Seasonal niche overlap of diverse facultative antagonistic bacteria of diatoms in a productive coastal ecosystem

The paper examines seasonal interactions between facultative antagonistic bacteria and diatoms in a coastal ecosystem, finding overlapping co-occurrences and correlations with temperature and toxic diatoms.
