Bacteria induce an amoeboid phase in coccolithophores that persists after bloom collapse

Sophie T Zweifel, Richard J. Henshaw, Oliver Müller, Johannes M. Keegstra, Sam Charlton, Roberto Pioli, Clara Martínez‐Pérez, Uria Alcolombri, Estelle E. Clerc, Roman Stocker

The paper identifies an amoeboid phase in coccolithophores triggered by bacteria, which persists after bloom collapse and may provide bacterial resistance.

GUARDIANS OF THE CELL: COCCOSPHERE PREVENTS OPPORTUNISTIC BACTERIA ATTACK IN HEAVY CALCIFYING COCCOLITHOPHORE

Sophie T Zweifel, Richard J. Henshaw, Roberto Pioli, Clara Martínez‐Pérez, Uria Alcolombri, Zachary Landry, Roman Stocker

This study shows that the coccosphere of Coccolithus braarudii prevents bacterial attack by Phaeobacter inhibens, as decalcified cells become susceptible to pathogenic interactions.
