Positive Interactions Under Ocean Warming and Acidification: Crustose Coralline Algae Holobionts Enhance Gorgonian Larval Settlement Under Climate Change. [PDF]
Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are key for the settlement of the larvae of the Mediterranean white gorgonian, Eunicella singularis, especially after treatment under future climate change conditions. CCA also influence larval microbiome development. (A) Enhanced larval settlement is driven by bacterial breakdown and utilisation of CCA polysaccharides ...

Selective shaping of prokaryotic communities and core symbiont maintenance suggest large-scale aquarium facilities as reservoirs of microbiome diversity in octocorals [PDF]
IntroductionOctocorals play a critical role in coral ecosystems, contributing to habitat complexity and marine biodiversity. Despite their ecological importance, the microbial communities associated with octocorals remain understudied, particularly under

Light and dark biofilm adaptation impacts larval settlement in diverse coral species [PDF]
Background Recovery of degraded coral reefs is reliant upon the recruitment of coral larvae, yet the mechanisms behind coral larval settlement are not well understood, especially for non-acroporid species.

Effects of pesticide application on soil bacteria community structure in a cabbage-based agroecosystem in Ghana. [PDF]
Modern sustainable agriculture often relies on pesticide application, which may unintentionally affect non-target soil microorganisms. This study assessed the effects of commonly used pesticides in cabbage cultivation on bacteria diversity, composition ...

Description of Stieleria mannarensis sp. nov., isolated from a marine sponge, and proposal to include members of the genus Roseiconus in the genus Stieleria. [PDF]
A pink-coloured, salt- and alkali-tolerant strain, JC639T, was isolated from a specimen of the marine sponge Spheciospongia sp. The novel isolate is motile, aerobic and forms oval to pear-shaped cells.

Planctomycetes are bacteria that were long thought to be unculturable, of low abundance, and therefore neglectable in the environment. This view changed in recent years, after it was shown that members of the phylum Planctomycetes can be abundant in many

Novel and Conventional Isolation Techniques to Obtain Planctomycetes from Marine Environments
Bacteria from the distinctive Planctomycetes phylum are well spread around the globe; they are capable of colonizing many habitats, including marine, freshwater, terrestrial, and even extreme habitats such as hydrothermal vents and hot springs.
