Pseudoalteromonas Piscicida
''Pseudoalteromonas piscicida'' is a marine bacterium. It is known to produce a quorum sensing molecule called 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (HHQ), which functions as a bacterial infochemical. Research into the effects of this infochemical on phytoplankton is currently being conducted by Dr. Kristen Whalen of Haverford College Haverford College ( ) is a private university, private Liberal arts colleges in the United States, liberal arts college in Haverford, Pennsylvania, United States.

Marine Bacterium
Marine prokaryotes are marine bacteria and marine archaea. They are defined by their habitat as prokaryotes that live in Marine habitat, marine environments, that is, in the saline water, saltwater of seas or oceans or the brackish water of coastal Estuary, estuaries. All cellular life forms can be divided into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a cell nucleus, nucleus enclosed within biological membrane, membranes, whereas prokaryotes are the organisms that do not have a nucleus enclosed within a membrane. The three-domain system of Taxonomy (biology), classifying life adds another division: the prokaryotes are divided into two domains of life, the microscopic bacteria and the microscopic archaea, while everything else, the eukaryotes, become the third domain. Prokaryotes play important roles in ecosystems as decomposers recycling nutrients. Some prokaryotes are pathogenic, causing disease and even death in plants and animals. Marine prokar ...
