Mangrove habitats harbor abundant biofilms covering sediment as well as biological surfaces (mangrove trees, plastic waste...). This project aims at characterizing the...

Microbial Ecology diversity of natural habitats

At an arctic hydrate site south of the Svalbard archipelago, sediments are characterized by steady methane flux. In two sediment cores recovered from this sites, we found...

Identification of microbes associated at E. amentacea biofilm in adults and germilings

Survey of biofilm bacterial community diversity (16S rRNA) in New Zealand streams

Our study concerns the reliability of techniques for obtaining accurate and quantitative full-length 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data on bacterial community structure with...

Marine biofilms are the first stage of marine biofouling, however not much is known about their temporal succession. We used Illumina MiSeq-based pair-end 16S rRNA gene amplicon...

This study aimed at the description of marine biofilms developped over antifouling surfaces under different shear stress incubations in the Toulon Bay (and in the SOLA...

This study aims to isolate various bacterial species from Gulf of Mannar region, India.

This study explores the colonization and biodegradation potential of fungal communities on foamed polystyrene and biodegradable plastics immersed in a marina environment over...

Olympia Oyster (Ostrea lurida) populations rapidly declined in Washington over a century ago. Currently, there are efforts by the state of Washington DNR to monitor Ostrea...

Microbial communities that grow on surfaces of solid materials in the presence of water are known as a biofilm. Our observation suggested that the biofilm community sampled from...

The presented experiments confirmed the possibility of inducing different prokaryotic and eukaryotic biofilm communities on microplastics from an initial seawater source by...

Steel marine structures, including shipwrecks, provide foci of biodiversity when they develop into artificial reefs. Development begins with deposition of a biofilm. The effects...

Microplastics have emerged as a new anthropogenic substrate that can readily be colonized by microorganisms. Nevertheless, information of the assembly processes and long-term...

This study explores fundamental ecological questions regarding colonization of animal communities and the role of microbial biofilms in controlling these processes at deepsea...

Hydrophobic Fluortex adsorbents were coated with a thin oil film, placed in field systems and deployed in a marine coastal area near Longyearbyen on Svalbard. Two field...

In this study gut and body surface microbiome of two cryptic gastropod species (Littorina obtusata and Littorina fabalis) as well as environmental biofilm microbiomes from their...

Here, by means of a field experiment, we investigated how the removal of macroalgal canopies favors coral recruitment and influences the structure of epilithic microscopic...

The release of hydrocarbons and dispersants in the marine environment may place at risk the preservation of historic steel shipwrecks on the seafloor. In this study, we exposed...
