In coastal marine ecosystems, kelp forests serve as a vital habitat for numerous species and significantly influence local nutrient cycles. Bull kelp, or Nereocystis luetkeana, is foundational in the iconic of northeast Pacific Ocean harbours complex microbial community with potential implications health. Here, we report isolation functional characterisation 16 Nereocystis-associated bacterial species, comprising 13 Gammaproteobacteria, 2 Flavobacteriia 1 Actinomycetia. Genome analyses these...
Warming seawater temperatures and low dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) levels are environmental stressors that affect the health abundance of marine macroalgae their microbiomes. Nereocystis luetkeana, a canopy-forming species brown algae forms critical habitat along Pacific coast, has declined in regions impacted by these synergistic stressors. Little is known about how factors microbiome N. which could nutrient availability, vitamin production, stress response for host. We experimentally...
