It is demonstrated that a third bacterial partner can alter the outcome of an antagonistic algal-bacterial interaction by means of chemical mediators, which has implications for the understanding of microbial community functioning that cannot only be derived from the investigation of pairwise interactions.
Interactions between phytoplankton and bacteria are often classified as beneficial or harmful, yet interactions between the same partners can shift between these states. Here, we examine bacterial pathogenicity toward marine phytoplankton, focusing on how algal-bacterial interactions become harmful. In several Roseobac...

Abstract Algal–fungal interactions are widespread in natural environments and contribute to key ecological processes, such as primary production, nutrient cycling, and soil formation. Yet, molecular mechanisms underlying these associations remain poorly understood due to the complexity of natural systems and the lack o...

ABSTRACT Marine algal blooms play a vital role in oceanic carbon cycling. However, the ecological consequences of the organic matter released following bloom collapse via viral infection are poorly understood. Recent studies have shown that viral infection dramatically alters the intracellular metabolite composition of...
Abstract Resident bacterial interactions can shape the invasion resistance of rhizosphere microbiomes, but whether interactions between weakly antagonistic resident bacteria can generate emergent antagonism against invading pathogens remains poorly understood. Here, we used a systematic pairwise interaction screening t...
