Deep in the ocean, brown algae and diatoms produce a complex carbohydrate molecule called fucoidan, which helps form their protective outer layers. The fucoidan molecule is very difficult for microbes ...

Marine algae produce sulfated carbohydrates called fucoidans that are chemically too complex for any bacteria to digest alone. Instead, marine bacteria split the task between them in a modular fashion ...

Single-molecule genomics methods are used to study the activity of regulatory factors on individual DNA molecules genome-wide, thereby enabling quantification of molecular heterogeneity and ...
