title: [Encounters with marine bacteria].
abstract: Various aspects of the social life of bacteria are exposed here, in the light of recently published discoveries on the adaptive mechanisms of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, and on their importance at all ecological levels. There is now a need for studying models such as macrophytic algae and their associated microbial flora in order to integrate observations on simple laboratory models into the spatio-temporal perspective afforded by evolutionarily stable biocenoses.
