    Description: Specific associations of bacteria with phytoplankton have recently been reported in the literature. In our study, we analyzed bacterial communities of microalgal cultures related to algal growth phases. Seven freshly isolated key diatom and dinoflagellate species from Helgoland Roads, North Sea, were investigated. The community composition of associated bacteria as well as the cell numbers, the photosynthetic efficiency of the algae, and the depletion of inorganic nutrients in the medium were recorded over a period of 8 weeks in batch cultures. Diversity and succession of bacterial communities was analyzed by ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis. Phylogenetic analysis of bacterial populations was performed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis of 16S rRNA genes followed by DNA sequence analysis. Members of Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria and the Flavobacteria–Sphingobacteria group within the Bacteroidetes phylum predominated in the cultures. Differences in free-living and attached bacterial populations were observed between the phylogenetic groups. Shifts in the bacterial communities could not be correlated to changes of nutrient levels or algal growth phases. Regarding our results, it should not be generalized that the compositions of the bacterial communities are strictly species specific for microalgae. The importance of factors like the composition of exudates is apparent.

    Description: Of 45 bacterial isolates from healthy tips of Gracilaria conferta (Schousboe ex Montagne) J. et G. Feldmann, 29% were identified as 'conditional inducers' of an apical necrosis. That is, the isolates induced necrotic tips in G. conferta within 16 h after elimination of most of the resident microflora from the alga. Several disinfectants and antibiotics were screened for their ability to induce algal susceptibility to the bacteria and to suppress uncontrolled appearance of tip necrosis. Treatment with 100 mg L-1 Cefotaxim + 100 mg L-1 Vancomycin over three days was the least damaging and most efficient. Tip necrosis was related to isolates of the Corynebacterium-Arthrobacter-group and to the Flavobacterium-Cytophaga-group. The damaging effect occurred due to the bacterial excretion of active agents and was not correlated with a capability to degrade agar. The damaging influence of four Cytophaga-like strains was inhibited by 20 of 40 isolates. This protective effect was caused by very different organisms. In five of six cases examined further, the effect was not cellbound, but due to the excretion of agents. These were not antimicrobially active, but inactivated necrosis-inducing excretions. These results indicate that epiphytic bacterial degradation or inactivation of damaging agents is a protecting factor in Gracilaria, which prevents the alga from being harmed by epiphytes.

    Description: Phosphatase is a key-enzyme in the marine environment, although life in the sea is normally not P limited. Expression of phosphatase in algae is generally regulated by the prevailing external concentration of inorganic phosphate, but the internal N:P ratio may also play a role. For bacteria, additional mechanisms like their C and N demands may be important. This is suggested by high phosphatase activities occasionally measured in eutrophic or deep water in the presence of relatively high phosphate concentrations. The distribution of phosphatase activity among the particulate and the dissolved fractions is highly variable. In particular, the dissolved fraction can contribute considerably to the total phosphatase activity (up to 70%), which differs from the pattern of other hydrolytic ectoenzymes. Parts of this fraction may originate from marine protozoa. The contribution of bacteria and phytoplankton to the particle-associated fraction of phosphatase is extremely variable, depending on P-availability, the dominant organisms, water depth and environmental factors. Community analysis revealed that bacteria attached to marine snow and N2-fixing cyanobacteria were frequently strong producers of phosphatase. Field studies carried out on a great variety of marine regions suggest that phosphatase activity is generally a good indicator of the P status of phytoplankton. Several heat-stable or heat-labile phosphatases, isolated from marine organisms living in extreme or other environments have been recommended for biotechnological applications.
