“…GS7 significantly impaired the growth and colony formation of P. globosa . The inhibition effect on P. globosa growth might be related to the physiological change of Marinobacter cells at high cell densities compared to low cell densities, such as chemotaxis, cell motility, and attachment ( Sonnenschein Eva et al, 2012 ), or extracellular electron transfer ( Eddie et al, 2021 ), or discharging of chemical mediators such as antibacterial and algicidal compounds ( Imai et al, 1993 ; Mayali and Azam, 2004 ; Meyer et al, 2017 ; Cirri and Pohnert, 2019 ). Lifestyle change of Alteromonas , another opportunitroph frequently associated with marine phytoplankton, has been observed when co-culturing with Trichodesmium ( Hou et al, 2018 ).…”
