Article Description

The morphogenesis of the marine green algae Ulva mutabilis depends on bacteria that release diffusible morphogenetic compounds. Axenic U. mutabilis gametes develop into callus-like colonies without normal cell walls. From the accompanying microbial flora two specific bacteria were isolated, which form a symbiotic tripartite community and induce readily algal morphogenesis. We use axenic algal cultures as a powerful tool to investigate the multiple cross-kingdom interactions on a molecular level.
