Depictions of microbial interactions. Depictions of microbial interactions. Examples of bacterial interactions with diatoms are shown, categorized as competitive (purple), synergistic (orange), and parasitic (blue). An example of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) as evidence for past associations between diatoms and bacteria is also shown (green). Small rectangles with flagella represent bacteria; the large dark green rectangle (center) represents a diatom cell. Key reactions involved in the interactions are depicted within respective cells. The background gradient and dashed line represent the phycosphere. In the nutrient-poor regions of the oceans, bacteria and diatoms often encounter limiting resources for which competition may be established. Bacteria and diatoms both produce membrane-bound enzymes, such as alkaline phosphatase and 5′-nucleotidases (triangles), to break down dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP). Unless coupled directly to an uptake mechanism, consequent release of orthophosphate into the surrounding seawater may result in competitive uptake by both organisms, with bacteria generally outcompeting diatoms at low concentrations (173). One way to avoid such competition is to establish a synergistic mutualism, in which an exchange of resources increases the fitness of both organisms. For example, some diatoms lack a B12-independent methionine synthase gene (metE) and thus require an exogenous source of vitamin B12 to synthesize methionine. Many bacteria can produce B12, thus providing a source for diatoms (70). In return, the bacteria would benefit from dissolved organic matter (DOM) produced by the diatoms. Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria have been shown to supply fixed nitrogen to diatoms, likely in the form of ammonia or dissolved organic nitrogen (57). Some bacteria produce the highly photolabile siderophore vibrioferrin, which has been shown recently to supply soluble iron to algal cells, presumably in exchange for DOM (4). In this case, bacterial growth is significantly enhanced in the presence of the algae, providing further evidence for a mutualistic interaction. A subset of bacteria possesses the ability to utilize a by-product of algal photorespiration, glycolate, with the potential consequence of shifting bacterial community dynamics over diel cycles (101). In the category of parasitic interactions, we include interactions that directly parasitize or defend against such parasitism. Desbois et al. have shown that the fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) produced by the diatom P. tricornutum is an effective antimicrobial agent against known human pathogens (45). The compound appears to be less effective against marine bacteria. Algicidal bacteria can attack diatoms through attachment and/or release of enzymes that degrade the diatom's organic matrix, which protects the silica frustule from dissolution. Furusawa et al. demonstrated the attachment of a Saprospira sp. to a diatom and subsequent release of fibril-like materials that appear to aid in decomposition of the cell wall (60). The algicidal bacterium Kordia algicida appears to produce a diffusible protease responsible for the killing activity (137). In a similar system, Lee et al. characterized the protease from a Pseudoalteromonas sp. as a serine protease (107). Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) represents the footprint of ancient associations between bacteria and diatoms. Horizontal transfer of genetic material, hypothesized to originate from bacteria in close associations with diatoms, has shaped the metabolic potential of modern diatom species. In one example, a key offshoot pathway of the urea cycle in diatoms, catalyzed by carbamate kinase (CBK), appears to be encoded by a gene with no phylogenetic associations with other known eukaryotes (2).
