Macroalgae are multicellular, aquatic autotrophs that play vital roles in global climate maintenance and have diverse applications biotechnology eco-engineering, which directly linked to their multicellularity phenotypes. However, genomic diversity the evolutionary mechanisms underlying these organisms remain uncharacterized. In this study, we sequenced 110 macroalgal genomes from climates phyla, identified key features distinguish them microalgal relatives. Genes for cell adhesion,...
We present a genome assembly from culture of Marvania coccoides (CCAP 251/1B) (Chlorophyta; Trebouxiophyceae; Chlorellales; Chlorellaceae). The sequence is 22.3 megabases in span. Most the scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules. mitochondrial and plastid assemblies have lengths 49.04 kilobases 99.87 length, respectively.
<ns4:p>We present a genome assembly from colony of <ns4:italic>Pseudopediastrum boryanum</ns4:italic> (CCAP 291/2) (Chlorophyta; Chlorophyceae; Spaeropleales; Hydrodictyaceae). The sequence is 183.3 megabases in span.

Bacteria from the genus Marinobacter are ubiquitous throughout worlds’ oceans as “opportunitrophs” capable of surviving a wide range conditions, including colonization surfaces marine snow and algae. To prevent too many bacteria occupying this ecological niche simultaneously, some sort population dependent control must be operative. Here, we show that while do not produce or utilize an acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-based quorum sensing system, “sibling” colonies species exhibit form...
The energy derived from aquatic primary production is fundamental to driving Earth’s life support systems – but they don’t achieve all this by themselves. Heterotrophic bacteria found in the photic zones of environments have a role too. Our group’s interest understanding how heterotrophs help autotrophs: who these communities are important, and why important. Answering important both natural manmade so we can model environments, as appropriate, manipulate them, such applying designer...
A major challenge in microbial ecology is to understand the stability of interspecies interactions when progressing from pairs interacting species multispecies interaction networks. lack direct evidence, and a conceptual framework explore how indirect effects shape cellular responses species-rich networks has hindered progress our understanding these combined effects. Here we aimed investigate whether higher-order community dynamics transcriptional profiles all partners simplified that...
