Phosphate deprivation restricts bacterial degradation of the marine polysaccharide fucoidan
Nature Microbiology, Published online: 22 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-025-02240-zLimiting phosphate concentrations could be a strategy to protect and sequester carbon dioxide as fucoidan, a polysaccharide produced by marine algae.
