Metagenome, metatranscriptome and exo-proteome analyses identify molecular keys and main bacterial players involved in Chlorophyta and Charophyta microalgae-bacteria interactions

Microalga belonging to the genus of the Chlorophyta and the Charophyta are considered to be evolutionary early plant lines. Due to these phylogenetic properties makes them interesting models to study 'eukaryotic-microbe' interactions at an evolutionary very early level. By analyses via metagenome, metatranscriptome and metaproteome we identified molecular keys and main bacterial players involved in Chlorophyta and Charophyta microalgae-bacteria interactions.
