A predator-prey interaction between a marine Pseudoalteromonas sp. and Gram-positive bacteria
Nature Communications, 2020 Predator-prey interactions play important roles in the cycling of marine organic matter. Here the authors show that a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from marine sediments can kill and feed on Gram-positive bacteria by secreting a peptidoglycan ...

Demethylation of dimethylsulfoniopropionate to 3-mercaptopropionate by an aerobic marine bacterium [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1994 A bacterium, strain BIS-6, that grew aerobically on dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) was isolated from an intertidal mud sample. Strain BIS-6 quantitatively demethylated DMSP and 3-methiolpropionate to 3-mercaptopropionate. Strain BIS-6 was a versatile methylotroph growing on the osmolytes DMSP and glycine betaine and their methylated degradation ...
