This study shows diatom spines capture and lyse bacteria, enabling nutrient acquisition and revealing a suspension-feeding strategy in phytoplankton.

The paper quantifies fucoidan release by brown macroalgae and estimates its global contribution to marine carbon sequestration through the formation of marine snow.

This paper shows diatoms exude sulfated mannan to selectively nourish bacteria, shaping their microbiome to enhance productivity and carbon cycling.

The paper shows phosphate starvation reduces bacterial fucan digestion, stabilizing carbon sequestration by algae.

The paper investigates carbon sequestration in coastal vegetated ecosystems, finding that algal-derived fucoidans are stored in sediments across various ecosystems.

This study examines how marine yeasts degrade laminarin-based substrates, finding that yeast growth is negatively correlated with oligomer length and suggesting a niche role in microbial loop dynamics.

The paper identifies fucose-rich oligosaccharides in deep ocean seawater, showing their selective preservation compared to surface ocean samples.

This study identifies SusC/D-like proteins in marine Gammaproteobacteria for fructan utilization, challenging the notion that these proteins are exclusive to Bacteroidota.
