TLDR; these 2 specific varieties of marine bacteria and algae will trade resources for a while, until the bacteria are triggered by a chemical signal that the algae is old/weakened. It is at that point that the bacteria begins to eat the algae!
 
Nature is amazing. Thanks for posting this.

The longer I am in this hobby, the more I realize the importance of bacteria and the relationship that they have with other other things in the aquarium. I also realize how little we know about what's really going on in this microscopic world.
