Sulfated mannan helps diatoms domesticate their microbiome

2024-07-05

Abstract excerpt

Diatoms are a keystone phylum in Earth’s ecosystems, specializing in oxygen production and carbohydrate fixation that fuels global food webs. Diatoms host a microbiome, but how they preferentially collect bacteria with complementary traits remains unknown. Here we show that diatoms exude a C6-sulfated α-1,3-mannan that serves as a selective carbon source for adapted bacteria. Its structure was resolved by NMR spec...
