This project aims to investigate how bacteria can improve the growth, health and environmental adaptation of marine seaweeds (macroalgae). By using new knowledge of microbial functions and innovative approaches in experimental ecology the project will develop bacterial consortia that benefit seaweeds. It is anticipated that these bacteria will constitute novel marine probiotics that can be used to enhance and protect the performance of macroalgae in their natural environment or in aquaculture systems. Such outcomes may contribute to safeguarding marine ecosystems against anthropogenic stressors (such as pollutants) and provide opportunities for the development of a blue economy.

该项目旨在研究细菌如何改善海洋海藻（大型藻类）的生长，健康和环境适应。通过使用微生物功能的新知识和实验生态学的创新方法，该项目将开发有益于海藻的细菌财团。预计这些细菌将构成新型海洋益生菌，可用于增强和保护大型藻类在其自然环境或水产养殖系统中的性能。这些成果可能有助于保护海洋生态系统免受人为压力（如污染物）的影响，并为发展蓝色经济提供机会。
