Algal Exudates Promote Conjugation in Marine Roseobacters

This study shows algal exudates enhance conjugation in Roseobacters by promoting bacterial attachment, facilitating horizontal gene transfer in marine environments.

Bacteria Contribute Exopolysaccharides to an Algal-Bacterial Joint Extracellular Matrix

This study identifies a shared algal-bacterial extracellular matrix formed through bacterial exopolysaccharide production, enhancing aggregation and colonization in marine environments.

The Role of Vitamin D in Emiliania huxleyi: A Microalgal Perspective on UV Exposure

This study shows Emiliania huxleyi produces vitamin D2 and D3 in response to UV radiation and regulates protective mechanisms transcriptionally when exposed to vitamin D, enhancing photosynthesis and reducing oxidative stress.

Reducing the Bacterial Lag Phase Through Methylated Compounds: Insights from Algal-Bacterial Interactions

The study shows methylated compounds from microalgae reduce the bacterial lag phase in Phaeobacter inhibens by enabling methionine cycle assimilation.

Aerobic Bacteria Produce Nitric Oxide via Denitrification and Trigger Algal Population Collapse

Aerobic bacteria produce nitric oxide via denitrification in oxygenated conditions, triggering algal population collapse through a cascade of NO-induced cell death.

Coccolith Sr/Ca is a Robust Temperature and Growth Rate Indicator that Withstands Dynamic Microbial Interactions

This study investigates how bacterial interactions affect coccolith Sr/Ca ratios and calcification in Emiliania huxleyi, finding that Sr/Ca depends only on temperature and growth rate, not microbial influences.

Widespread Utilization of Diverse Organophosphate Pollutants by Marine Bacteria

Marine bacteria utilize diverse organophosphate pollutants as a phosphorus source, offering potential for bioremediation.

Conserved interactions required for in vitro inhibition of the main protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

The paper identifies conserved hydrogen-bond interactions in SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and screens FDA-approved drugs to find potential inhibitors.
