The Hologenome Theory Disregards the Coral Holobiont [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2007 The ‘hologenome theory of evolution’, proposed by Rosenberg and colleagues1, suggests that reef corals, and by extrapolation other multicellular organisms, adapt to environmental stress by alterations in their resident microbial communities. Although this is an interesting idea, we strongly disagree with aspects of this theory, specifically those ...

Metagenomic analysis of stressed coral holobionts
Environmental Microbiology, 2009Summary The coral holobiont is the community of metazoans, protists and microbes associated with scleractinian corals. Disruptions in these associations have been correlated with coral disease, but little is known about the series of events involved in the shift from mutualism to pathogenesis.

Resilience of cold-water coral holobionts to thermal stress
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021Cold-water corals are threatened by global warming, especially in the Mediterranean Sea where they live close to their upper known thermal limit (i.e. 13°C), yet their response to rising temperatures is not well known. Here, temperature effects onLophelia pertusaandMadrepora oculataholobionts (i.e.

Antibacterial Activity of Pseudoalteromonas in the Coral Holobiont
Microbial Ecology, 2012Corals harbor diverse and abundant prokaryotic populations. Bacterial communities residing in the coral mucus layer may be either pathogenic or symbiotic. Some species may produce antibiotics as a method of controlling populations of competing microbial species. The present study characterizes cultivable Pseudoalteromonas sp.

Insights into ‘Symbiodiniaceae phycosphere’ in a coral holobiont
Symbiosis, 2020Phycosphere is the region where algal exudates influence microbial communities. Since the term was coined, research has been focused on understanding free-living-phytoplankton and bacteria interactions. Coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis and its associated microbiomes have also been widely studied due to the increasing number of global and local threats ...

The fifth and final chapter in the book, “The Coral Holobiont: Hope and the Genomic Turn,” explores the hope encapsulated within coral life in the flesh. Holobionts, hologenomes, chimeras, and reticulate evolution are just a few of the concepts deployed by coral scientists to shed light on the microscopic and macroscopic complexity of corals ...

Insights Into the Coral Microbiome: Underpinning the Health and Resilience of Reef Ecosystems
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2016 Corals are fundamental ecosystem engineers, creating large, intricate reefs that support diverse and abundant marine life. At the core of a healthy coral animal is a dynamic relationship with microorganisms, including a mutually beneficial symbiosis with

Global Networks of Symbiodinium-Bacteria Within the Coral Holobiont
Microbial Ecology, 2018Scleractinian corals form the framework of coral reefs and host abundant and diverse microbial communities that are fundamental to their success. A very limited number of studies have examined the co-occurrence of multiple partners within the coral 'holobiont' and their pattern of specificity over different geographical scales.

Microbial Interactions on Coral Surfaces and Within the Coral Holobiont
2016Microbial communities associated with coral surfaces are diverse and complex. They play key roles in nutrient acquisition by coral holobionts and in responses to stressors and diseases. Members of coral-associated microbiota produce antimicrobial compounds, inhibit cell-to-cell signaling, and disrupt virulence in opportunistic pathogens ...
