      Bengtsson, Mia M.; Sjøtun, Kjersti; Øvreås, Lise (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05)
      Seasonal variations of the cell density and bacterial community composition in biofilms growing on the surface of the kelp Laminaria hyperborea from 2 sites on the southwestern coast of Norway were investigated using total ...
    • Utilization of kelp-derived carbon sources by kelp surface-associated bacteria 

      Bengtsson, Mia M.; Sjøtun, Kjersti; Storesund, Julia Endresen; Øvreås, Lise (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01)
      The surfaces of kelp are covered with bacteria that may utilize kelp-produced carbon and thereby contribute significantly to the carbon flux in kelp forest ecosystems. There is scant knowledge about the identity of these ...
