Article Abstract
Macroalgae are a diverse group of primary producers that offer indispensable ecosystem services towards bacterial colonization and proliferation in aquatic biomes. Macroalgae/bacteria interactions are complex in natural biomes and contribute mutually to their growth and biotechnological outcomes. Most findings on macroalgae-associated bacteria and their secreted enzymes have largely been limited to nutraceutical applications. Here, in this study, we demonstrate and investigate the growth of Bacillus sp. (macroalgae-associated bacteria) with the substitution of its associated macroalgae (Gracilaria corticata) on graphene oxide (GO). The findings indicated that the presence of wrinkles of GO nanosheets resulted in cell proliferation and adherence without causing mechanical damage to the cell membrane. Furthermore, the assembly of GO-marine bacteria was explored for organic pollutant treatment using methylene blue (MB) as a model dye. The degradation results suggest the breakdown of MB into non-toxic byproducts as suggested by the phytotoxicity assay.

Canopy-forming brown macroalgae (Fucales) offer numerous key ecosystem services in Mediterranean coastal areas. However, anthropogenic pressures and climate change have significantly impacted their habitats, leading to an extensive population decline. Interactions between algae and microbiota are a major ecological aspect, yet they represent a significant knowledge gap.

Bioprospecting the secondary metabolism of underexplored Actinomycetota taxa is a prolific route to uncover novel chemistry. In this work, we report the isolation, structure elucidation, and bioactivity screening of cellulamides A and B ( and ), two novel linear peptides obtained from the culture of the macroalga-associated CT-R177. The host of this microorganism, the Chlorophyta , was collected in the northern Portuguese coast and, in the scope of a bioprospecting study focused on its associated actinobacterial community, strain CT-R177 was isolated, taxonomically identified, and screened for the production of antimicrobial and anticancer compounds.

Marine macroalgae are the habitat of epiphytic bacteria and provide several conditions for a beneficial biological interaction to thrive. Although is one of the most abundant epiphytic genera, genomic information on marine macroalgae-associated species remains scarce. In this study, we further investigated our previously published genome of the epiphytic strain 19_A to find features that could be translated to potential metabolites produced by this microorganism, as well as genes that play a role in its interaction with its macroalgal host.

The shift from the terrestrial to the marine environment to discover natural products has given rise to novel bioactive compounds, some of which have been approved for human medicine. However, the ocean, which makes up nearly three-quarters of the Earth's surface, contains macro- and microorganisms whose natural products are yet to be explored. Among these underexplored marine organisms are macroalgae and their symbiotic microbes, such as Bacillota, a phylum of mostly Gram-positive bacteria previously known as Firmicutes.

Macroalgae and macroalgae-associated bacteria together constitute the most efficient metabolic cycling system in the ocean. Their interactions, especially the responses of macroalgae-associated bacteria communities to algae in different geographical locations, are mostly unknown. In this study, metagenomics was used to analyze the microbial diversity and associated algal-polysaccharide-degrading enzymes on the surface of red algae among three remote regions.
