Bacterial Nanotubes as Intercellular Linkages in Marine Assemblages
Several types of bacterial appendages, e.g., pili and fimbriae, are known for their role in promoting interactions and aggregation with particles and bacteria in the ocean.

Quorum Sensing Inhibition by Marine Bacteria [PDF]
Antibiotic resistance has been increasingly reported for a wide variety of bacteria of clinical significance. This widespread problem constitutes one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. Faced with this issue, clinicians and researchers have been persuaded to design novel strategies in order to try to control pathogenic bacteria ...

Nitrogen removal in marine environments: recent findings and future research challenges [PDF]
Respiratory reduction of nitrate (denitrification) is recognized as the most important process converting biologically available (fixed) nitrogen to N2. In current N cycle models, a major proportion of global marine denitrification (50–70%) is assumed to

No evidence for a culturable bacterial tetrodotoxin producer in Pleurobranchaea maculata (Gastropoda: Pleurobranchidae) and Stylochoplana sp. (Platyhelminthes: Polycladida) [PDF]
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin found in the tissues of many taxonomically diverse organisms. Its origin has been the topic of much debate, with suggestions including endogenous production, acquisition through diet, and symbiotic bacterial ...
