  "summary": "Communities of heterotrophic particle-associated marine bacteria contribute to oceanic carbon cycling through interspecies interactions that can influence polysaccharide degradation. While these interactions have been extensively studied using single natural isolates or pairwise combinations thereof, their mechanistic relevance within multispecies communities remains unclear. To address this gap,…",
