Description
Ernest Oppong-Danquah and co-authors compare seaweed surfaces in a 2023 Baltic Sea study. Three brown seaweed species of the genus Fucus share the same fjord in Germany. Seaweeds face constant settlement by microbes and larger foulers, and they fight back by releasing compounds and by hosting helpful microbes.
Despite the shared home, the three species foul at different rates. Chemical profiling of the seaweeds and microbe surveys of their surfaces were paired to find why. Each species carries its own chemical shield and tenant mix. The findings show how close kin solve the same fouling problem in different ways.
