The paper studies bacterial iron acquisition under low carbon conditions and finds that amino acids facilitate iron uptake by E. coli.

This study shows Alteromonas macleodii breaches diatom shells, induces protoplast emergence, and triggers programmed necrotic-like cell death in Thalassiosira rotula, revealing a novel algicidal strategy.

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

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