We investigated the seasonal dynamics of abundance and activity of Zobellia, an environmentally relevant glycan‐degrading bacterial genus in coastal habitats. We show it is a stable, low‐abundance component of healthy macroalgal microbiota that can also colonise particles in the water column.

Taking Synthetic Biology to the Seas: From Blue Chassis Organisms to Marine Aquaforming
Marine bacteria have recently been established as chassis organisms for synthetic biology. Their unique capabilities for sustainable bioproduction and large‐scale bioremediation are summarized in this review, and recent advances in genetic tool development, use of marine raw materials, and emerging technologies for aquaforming are highlighted ...

The power of seaweeds as plant biostimulants to boost crop production under abiotic stress
Abstract Abiotic stresses like drought and salinity are major factors resulting in crop yield losses and soil degradation worldwide. To meet increasing food demands, we must improve crop productivity, especially under increasing abiotic stresses due to climate change.

Polysaccharide degradation by the Bacteroidetes: mechanisms and nomenclature
Summary The Bacteroidetes phylum is renowned for its ability to degrade a wide range of complex carbohydrates, a trait that has enabled its dominance in many diverse environments. The best studied species inhabit the human gut microbiome and use polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs), discrete genetic structures that encode proteins involved in the ...

Characterization of an Alteromonas long-type ulvan lyase involved in the degradation of ulvan extracted from Ulva ohnoi [PDF]
Abstract Ulvan is a sulfated polysaccharide found in the cell wall of the green algae Ulva. We first isolated several ulvan-utilizing Alteromonas sp. from the feces of small marine animals. The strain with the highest ulvan-degrading activity, KUL17, was analyzed further.
