Antagonistic bacteria disrupt calcium homeostasis and immobilize algal cells

Predatory or competitive interactions between microbes are poorly understood but likely influence global nutrient cycles. Here, the authors show that Pseudomonas bacteria could immobilize algal cells, potential prey, by releasing secondary metabolites that induce a Ca2+ signal and algal deflagellati...
