Impacts of environmental stress on resistance and resilience of algal‐associated bacterial communities

Abstract Algal‐associated bacteria are fundamental to the ecological success of marine green macroalgae such as Caulerpa. The resistance and resilience of algal‐associated microbiota to environmental stress can promote algal health and genetic adaptation to changing environments. The composition of...
