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.

Metatranscriptome analysis of the reef-buidling coral Orbicella faveolata indicates holobiont response to coral disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
White Plague Disease (WPD) is implicated in coral reef decline in the Caribbean and is characterized by microbial community shifts in coral mucus and tissue.

Destabilization of mutualistic interactions shapes the early heat stress response of the coral holobiont [PDF]

Microbiome
Background 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

Specific plasmid patterns and high rates of bacterial co-occurrence within the coral holobiont. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2018
Despite the importance of coral microbiomes for holobiont persistence, the interactions among these arenot well understood. In particular, knowledge of the co-occurrence and taxonomic importance of specific members of the microbial core, as well as ...

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]

Bioessays
Coral 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 ...

Unveiling the hidden viral biodiversity and potential ecological functions with global coral holobiont virome database [PDF]

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Viruses are integral yet underexplored components of coral holobionts, with their roles in shaping microbial diversity, modulating symbioses, and contributing to Darwin’s paradox remaining largely unresolved.

Genetic clustering within massive Porites species complex is the primary driver of holobiont assembly. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The 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").

Genomic prediction of symbiotic interactions between two Endozoicomonas clades and their coral host, Acropora loripes [PDF]

Animal Microbiome
Background The bacterial genus Endozoicomonas is a predominant member of the coral microbiome, widely recognised for its ubiquity and ability to form high-density aggregates within coral tissues.

Nutritional and Microbial Responses of Pocillopora verrucosa to Co-Culture With Chromis viridis Damselfish. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Assessing 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.
