Marine biofilms are composed of many species of bacteria, unicellular algae, and protozoa. Biofilms can induce, inhibit, or have no effect on settlement of larvae and spores of algae. In this review, we focus on induction of larval settlement by marine bacteria and unicellular eukaryotes and review publications from 2010 to September 2019. This review provides insights from meta-analysis on what is known about the effect of marine biofilms on larval settlement. Of great interest is the impact of different components of marine biofilms, such as bacteria and diatoms, extracellular polymeric substances, quorum sensing signals, unique inductive compounds, exoenzymes, and structural protein degradation products on larval settlement and metamorphosis. Molecular aspects of larval settlement and impact of climate change are reviewed and, finally, potential areas of future investigations are provided.
海洋生物膜由许多种细菌、单细胞藻类和原生动物组成。生物膜可以诱导、抑制或对藻类的幼虫和孢子的定殖没有影响。在这篇综述中，我们重点关注海洋细菌和单细胞真核生物对幼虫定殖的诱导作用，并回顾了 2010 年至 2019 年 9 月的出版物。这篇综述通过荟萃分析提供了关于海洋生物膜对幼虫定殖影响的已知信息。特别有趣的是海洋生物膜的不同成分，如细菌和硅藻、胞外聚合物、群体感应信号、独特的诱导化合物、胞外酶以及结构蛋白降解产物对幼虫定殖和变态的影响。综述了幼虫定殖的分子方面以及气候变化的影响，最后提供了未来研究的潜在领域。
