Defining Coral Bleaching as a Microbial Dysbiosis within the Coral Holobiont [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis.

Single-polyp metabolomics reveals biochemical structuring of the coral holobiont at multiple scales [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2023 All biology happens in space, and spatial structuring plays an important role in mediating biological processes at all scales from cells to ecosystems. However, the metabolomic structuring of the coral holobiont has yet to be fully explored.

Destabilization of mutualistic interactions shapes the early heat stress response of the coral holobiont [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground The stability of the symbiotic relationship between coral and their dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodiniaceae) is disrupted by ocean warming. Although the coral thermal response depends on the complex interactions between host, Symbiodiniaceae and

Diel transcriptional responses of coral-Symbiodiniaceae holobiont to elevated temperature [PDF]
Communications BiologyCoral exhibits diel rhythms in behavior and gene transcription. However, the influence of elevated temperature, a key factor causing coral bleaching, on these rhythms remains poorly understood.

The Host Coral Bleaching Response Viewed Through the Lens of Multi-Omics: Multi-Omics Provides the Tools to Understand the Complex Molecular Basis of Coral Bleaching, Which Can Aid Conservation Efforts. [PDF]
BioessaysCoral bleaching is driven by multiple inputs, with heat stress and/or high irradiance being most important. The bleaching response is multifactorial with host animal species/strain and algal symbiont genotypes being critical features. Omics readout of heat stress responses includes gene expression, proteomics, metabolite, and SNP data with transcript ...

The coral Oculina patagonica holobiont and its response to confinement, temperature, and Vibrio infections [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Extensive research on the diversity and functional roles of the microorganisms associated with reef-building corals has been promoted as a consequence of the rapid global decline of coral reefs attributed to climate change.

Genetic clustering within massive Porites species complex is the primary driver of holobiont assembly. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe fate of coral reefs in response to climate change depends on their ability to adapt to new environments. The coral animal is buffered from environmental stress by its algal endosymbionts and microbial partners (together, the "holobiont").

Nutritional and Microbial Responses of Pocillopora verrucosa to Co-Culture With Chromis viridis Damselfish. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepAssessing the microbiome of captive Pocillopora verrucosa corals showed that populations of proposed microbial symbiont Endozoicomonas could only be maintained when corals were co‐cultured with Chromis viridis damselfish and supplied live feeds.

Unveiling the Microeukaryotic Landscape of the Red Coral Corallium rubrum Across the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThis study demonstrates that the eukaryome of the Mediterranean octocoral Corallium rubrum exhibits high variability, and the dominance of certain taxa is influenced by spatiotemporal environmental factors. Despite this, core microeukaryotic families, such as Licnophoridae and Dino‐Group I Clade 1, were consistently present, suggesting key roles in the
