Planctomycetes dominate biofilms on surfaces of the kelp Laminaria hyperborea.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bacteria adapted to live within animals can protect their hosts against harmful infections. Beyond antagonism with pathogens, a 'defensive' bacterial symbiont could engage in additional interactions with other colonizing micro-organisms. A single bacterium might thus have cascading ecological impacts on the ...
