This study shows marine bacteria are attracted to fucoidan at high concentrations, suggesting it guides them to macroalgal surfaces, influencing carbon cycling.

This study investigates the evolutionary origin of sugar sensing in vertebrates, finding that it predates angiosperms and involves multiple independent T1R-based mechanisms.

The paper identifies vitamin B6 catabolites as interkingdom signals in marine microbiomes, showing they structure metabolite exchanges between phytoplankton and bacteria.

The paper identifies bacterial-viral synergy as a key factor in algal bloom termination, showing how bacteria enhance viral infection and influence carbon cycling pathways.

The paper samples coral gastric cavities to characterize their microbial communities, finding similarities to animal guts and identifying core taxa that persist across environments.

The paper shows that glucose from symbiotic algae supports nitrogen assimilation in Aiptasia, enabling survival in nutrient-poor environments.
