Article Synopsis
- - The Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in Hawai'i is a protected area ideal for studying macroalgal-microbial diversity due to its limited human impact, with research focusing on various algae from different depths around Manawai (Pearl and Hermes Atoll).
- - High-throughput amplicon sequencing revealed that Ochrophyta species had the lowest bacterial diversity, and factors such as site and depth significantly influenced the structure of microbial communities associated with different algae.
- - A cryptogenic, potentially invasive alga showed differing microbiota compared to a native species from the same family, indicating that there is generally low connectivity in macroalgal-microbial communities across sites in this environment, suggesting that mesophotic zones
The ocean represents the largest biome on earth; however, we have only begun to understand the diversity and function of the marine microbial inhabitants and their interactions with macroalgal species. Macroalgae play an integral role in overall ocean biome health and serve both as major primary producers and foundation species in the ecosystem. Previous studies have been limited, focusing on the microbiome of a single algal species or its interaction with selected microbes.

While the Awesomesauce genome is 57,054 bp with 94 protein-coding genes, the LastJedi genome is 55,149 bp with 94 protein-coding genes. Nucleotide sequence comparison in Phamerator detected synteny between Awesomesauce gp49 to gp61 and singleton LilSpotty.
