Collaboration with the group of Prof. Sauer published: Insight into microbial community diversity in seawater
Competition for and exchange of nutrients play crucial roles in shaping microbial community function and dynamics in seawater. Findings by the group of Prof. Sauer (IMSB) highlight the role of extracellular polymeric substance as a significant carbon source exchanged between microbes, fueling metabolically diverse populations and enriching our understanding of carbon-mediated microbial interactions.
