An experimental test of the influence of microbial manipulation on sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) supports the the core influences host function hypothesis

Jungsoo Park, Evan Kohn, Siobhan Schenk…·Laura Wegener Parfrey

This study tests the core microbiome influences host function hypothesis by examining how bacterial isolates affect sugar kelp development, finding that core bacteria strongly influence kelp growth.

Exploring the impact of microbial manipulation on the early development of kelp (Saccharina latissima) using an ecological core microbiome framework.

Jung Soo Park, Siobhan Schenk, Katherine M. Davis…·Laura Wegener Parfrey

This study identifies core bacterial taxa associated with wild kelp and tests their impact on cultivated kelp growth, finding a positive correlation between bacterial frequency and developmental effect.
