You should look at some of Erwin's papers describing sponge and bacterial symbiotic relationships.
Please include marine fungi!
Many interesting papers from Kohlmeyer J and Jones EBG
Forest Rohwer's work on the microbiology of coral reefs was the basis for an undergraduate seminar course I did. We had articles that were from other labs, but his work framed the course and had some of the best papers. In discussing the overdominance of algae on dying coral reefs, students assume the algae is eating the coral or killing the coral by blocking light. Instead, it turns out the algae is suffocating the coral by making a bunch of sugar that feeds bacterial growth and that bacteria uses up all the local O2. It's a phenominal story and the students loved the discussion of these articles in class:

Best regards!
I'm partial to the 2005 Giovannoni Science paper describing the smallest genome of a free-living bacterium. "Genome streamlining in a cosmopolitan oceanic bacterium."
A review on Microorganisms associated with macroalgae, lots of other paper concerning marine microbes are cited :
