Background: Previous studies have identified structurally diverse N-acyl amino acid methyl esters (NAMEs) in culture extracts of Roseovarius tolerans EL-164 (Roseobacteraceae). NAMEs are structural analogues of the common signaling compounds N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), but do not participate in AHL-mediated signaling. NAMEs show minor antialgal and antimicrobial activity, but whether this activity serves as the primary ecological role remains unclear.

- The study investigates the volatile compounds released by the apicomplexan alga Chromera velia and its associated bacteria, showing that traditional metagenomic methods may underestimate the complexity of the algal microbiome.
- A culture-independent approach revealed a potential new bacterial family within the microbiome, expanding on the understanding of its biodiversity.
- Analyses of the volatiles from both the algae and certain abundant bacteria identified a variety of compounds, including sulfur, nitrogen compounds, and a unique apocarotenoid not previously reported in algae, highlighting distinct differences in their volatile profiles.
The dinoflagellate , often called , is a potentially toxic alga found in algal blooms. Volatile compounds released by the alga might carry important information, e.g.
