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.

Conceptualization of the Holobiont Paradigm as It Pertains to Corals [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Corals’ obligate association with unicellular dinoflagellates, family Symbiodiniaceae form the foundation of coral reefs. For nearly a century, researchers have delved into understanding the coral-algal mutualism from multiple levels of resolution and ...

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

Stress‐Resistant Symbiodiniaceae and Diverse Bacterial Communities Promote Coral Persistence in Variable, Multi‐Stressor Environments [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionCoral holobionts maintain complex symbioses, which can be influenced by global and local stressors. However, the role of coral‐associated bacterial and algal (Symbiodiniaceae) communities in facilitating coral persistence in variable and extreme, multi ...

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

Holo-2bRAD: A Hologenomic Method for High-Resolution Analysis of Coral Microbiomes During Bleaching [PDF]
MicroorganismsCoral reefs are biodiversity hotspots increasingly threatened by climate-induced bleaching, yet profiling the coral holobiont—the host and its associated microbiota—remains technically challenging due to high host-DNA contamination (often >95%) and the ...
