Many biogeochemical processes, such as carbon cycling in marine ecosystems, are driven by interactions between micro-algae and bacteria. Global warming changes our oceans, impacts algal-bacterial interactions, and affects the processes these interactions propel. If we are to find ways to ameliorate the effects of global warming, we need to understand the molecular mechanisms that mediate these key algal-bacterial interactions, and integrate this knowledge into a biogeochemical context. A major challenge in studying these interactions – often mediated by secreted metabolites – is their complexity in nature. Therefore, we established ecologically relevant model systems with tunable…
