Article Abstract
Laminarin is a cytosolic storage polysaccharide of phytoplankton and macroalgae and accounts for over 10% of the world's annually fixed carbon dioxide. Algal disruption, for example, by viral lysis releases laminarin. The soluble sugar is rapidly utilized by free-living planktonic bacteria, in which sugar transporters and the degrading enzymes are frequently encoded in polysaccharide utilization loci. The annotation of flavobacterial genomes failed to identify canonical laminarin utilization loci in several particle-associated bacteria, in particular in strains of . In this study, we report utilization of laminarin by accompanied by additional cell growth and proliferation. Laminarin utilization coincided with the induction of an extracellular endo-laminarinase, SusC/D outer membrane oligosaccharide transporters, and a periplasmic glycosyl hydrolase family 3 protein. An ABC transport system and sugar kinases were expressed. Endo-laminarinase activity was also observed in sp. MAR_2009_72, sp. Hel_I_7, and MAR_2009_60. MAR_2009_71 lacked the large endo-laminarinase gene in the genome and had no endo-laminarinase activity. In all genomes, genes of induced proteins were scattered across the genome rather than clustered in a laminarin utilization locus. These observations revealed that the strains investigated in this study participate in laminarin utilization, but in contrast to many free-living bacteria, there is no co-localization of genes encoding the enzymatic machinery for laminarin utilization.

Diabetes exhibits several long-term serious health complications, including healing-impaired wounds, which result in substantial clinical challenges, warranting the need to develop efficient wound dressings. Herein, multifunctional in situ hydrogels as diabetic wound dressings were accomplished by concomitant spraying of 3-aminophenyl boronic acid (PBA)- grafted dialdehyde laminarin (LamPBA) and silver nanoparticles-impregnated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-AgNPs). The hydrogels with and without AgNPs (F2 and F1, respectively) conferred excellent rheological characteristics and acceptable antibacterial activity (up to 80 % reduction in survival) against E.

Evaluation of bacterial succession with cultivation-dependent strategies during enrichment culturing marine sediment led to the isolation of six strains that affiliated with the order . Six strains were selected for a taxonomic study after discarding clonal cultures. A thorough phylogenetic, genomic and phenotypic analysis of the isolates indicated that they represented six new species.

Marine macroalgae-associated play crucial roles in global carbon cycling through polysaccharide degradation, yet their taxonomic and functional diversity remains understudied. Here, we describe six novel species (strains 3-376, 4-2040, 2-473A, 4-528, 4-911 and 463) within the families , , and isolated from macroalgal surfaces in the coastal area of Weihai, China. Metagenomic read recruitment and 16S rRNA abundance analyses demonstrated host-specific associations.

The genera Polaribacter and Algibacter, which are members of the Bacteroidota family Flavobacteriaceae, are well known for their arsenal of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and specialized polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). In this study, two aerobic, gram-negative, and rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated strains DS7-9 and PT7-4, were isolated from the surface of seaweed collected from the coastal zone of Fujian Province, China. The two strains exhibited broad tolerance ranges to salinity (0-4%), temperature (10-40 °C) and pH (5.

Background: Benthic microbiomes exhibit remarkable temporal stability, contrasting with the dynamic, substrate-driven successions of bacterioplankton. Nonetheless, understanding their role in carbon cycling and interactions between these two microbial communities is limited due to the complexity of benthic microbiomes.
Results: Here, we used a long-reads (LRs) metagenomic approach to examine benthic microbiomes and compared them to the microbiomes in the overlaying water column and on particles, sampled at the same site and time off the island Heligoland in the North Sea.
