  PhD Thesis

  Metabolic and ecological strategies of bacteria specialized in the breakdown of macroalgae. The genus Zobellia was used as a study case.• Transcriptomic analysis (RNAseq) to reveal genes and metabolic pathways specifically triggered during the degradation of fresh macroalgae• Investigation of the interaction between pioneer and opportunist bacteria during algae degradation • Design of qPCR primers and FISH probe and protocol optimization for specific detection of Zobellia spp. in macroalgae dominated habitats• Seasonal variations in the abundance and activity of the genus Zobellia at the surface of diverse healthy and decaying macroalgae (qPCR, FISH, 16S metabarcoding)• Preliminary biochemical characterization of a Polysaccharide Utilization Loci involved in the degradation of fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharide Show less
