A bacterial quorum-sensing precursor induces mortality in the marine coccolithophore, Emiliania huxleyi

Interactions between phytoplankton and bacteria play a central role in mediating biogeochemical cycling and food web structure in the ocean. However, deciphering the chemical drivers of these interspecies interactions remains challenging. Here we report the isolation of 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (HHQ), r...
