Antibacterial Activities and Life Cycle Stages of Asparagopsis armata: Implications of the Metabolome and Microbiome.

ABSTRACT: The red alga Asparagopsis armata is a species with a haplodiplophasic life cycle alternating between morphologically distinct stages. The species is known for its various biological activities linked to the production of halogenated compounds, which are described as having several roles for the algae such as the control of epiphytic bacterial communities. Several studies have reported differences in targeted halogenated compounds (using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (GC-MS)) and antibacterial activities between the tetrasporophyte and the gametophyte stages. To enlarge this picture, we analysed the metabolome (using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)), the antibacterial activity and the bacterial communities associated with several stages of the life cyc
