Progress and future directions for seaweed holobiont research
Saha, Mahasweta; Dittami, Simon M.; Chan, Cheong Xin; Raina, Jean‐Baptiste; Stock, Willem; Ghaderiardakani, Fatemeh; John, Ann Mary Valathuparambil BabyIn the marine environment, seaweeds (i.e. marine macroalgae) provide a wide range of ecological services and economic benefits. Like land plants, seaweeds do not provide these services in isolation, rather they rely on their associated microbial communities, which together with the host form the seaweed holobiont. However, there is a poor understanding of the mechanisms shaping these complex seaweed–microbe int...
Recent progress in marine mycological research in different countries, and pros...
Pang, Ka-Lai; Jones, E. B. Gareth; Abdel-Wahab, Mohamed A.; Adams, Sarah J.; Alves, Artur; Azevedo, Egídia; Bahkali, Ali H.; Barata, MargaridaEarly research on marine fungi was mostly descriptive, with an emphasis on their diversity and taxonomy, especially of those collected at rocky shores on seaweeds and driftwood. Subsequently, further substrata (e.g. salt marsh grasses, marine animals, seagrasses, sea foam, seawater, sediment) and habitats (coral reefs, deep-sea, hydrothermal vents, mangroves, sandy beaches, salt marshes) were explored for marin...
A community perspective on the concept of marine holobionts: current status, ch...
Dittami, Simon M.; Arboleda, Enrique; Auguet, Jean-Christophe; Bigalke, Arite; Briand, Enora; Cárdenas, Paco; Cardini, Ulisse; Decelle, JohanHost-microbe interactions play crucial roles in marine ecosystems. However, we still have very little understanding of the mechanisms that govern these relationships, the evolutionary processes that shape them, and their ecological consequences. The holobiont concept is a renewed paradigm in biology that can help to describe and understand these complex systems. It posits that a host and its associated microbio...
