Systems biology of the interaction between Roseobacters and algae (C05)

• Subject Area: Metabolism, Biochemistry and Genetics of Microorganisms
• Term: from 2010 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 34509606

Interactions between the D. shibae and P. inhibens and the algae P. minimum and T. rotula will be analysed with a focus on the role of temperature and transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic responses. Axenic cultures of the algae will be compared to those harbouring a natural phyco-microbiome within the range of the algae’s growth temperatures and beyond. A proteome map of both algae will be constructed and the response to temperature will be determined. The project will provide urgently needed experimental data on the outcome of increased temperature for the interaction between marine algae and their microbiome.
