Widespread attraction of marine bacteria to the macroalgae-derived polysaccharide fucoidan

Fucoidan is the second most abundant polysaccharide in brown macroalgae, contributing up to 50% of the dissolved organic matter released daily from these algae into the ocean, substantially influencing the marine carbon cycle. Due to its complex chemical structure, fucoidan is highly resistant to microbial degradation...

Synergistic degradation of fucoidans in the ocean

It is shown that fucoidans are degraded through synergistic interactions between specialized bacteria with complementary metabolic functions, providing a mechanistic framework for understanding carbon cycling in the ocean and for engineering synthetic microbial consortia to degrade recalcitrant polysaccharides.
