Generating viral metagenomes from the coral holobiont. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2014 Reef-building corals comprise multipartite symbioses where the cnidarian animal is host to an array of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, and the viruses that infect them. These viruses are critical elements of the coral holobiont, serving not only as agents of mortality, but also as potential vectors for lateral gene flow, and as elements encoding ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nitrogen cycling in corals: the key to understanding holobiont functioning? [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2015 Corals are animals that form close mutualistic associations with endosymbiotic photosynthetic algae of the genus Symbiodinium. Together they provide the calcium carbonate framework of coral reef ecosystems. The importance of the microbiome (i.e., bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses) to holobiont functioning has only recently been recognized.

Metaproteome Analysis of Short‐Term Thermal Stress in Three Sympatric Coral Species Reveals Divergent Host Responses [PDF]
Ecol EvolShort‐term thermal stress triggers distinct molecular responses in three sympatric coral species with contrasting thermal resilience. Proteomic and metabolomic profiling reveal both species‐specific and limited shared pathways underlying these stress responses.

Diel transcriptional responses of coral-Symbiodiniaceae holobiont to elevated temperature
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.

Coral holobiont cues prime Endozoicomonas for a symbiotic lifestyle. [PDF]
ISME J, 2022 Abstract Endozoicomonas are prevalent, abundant bacterial associates of marine animals, including corals. Their role in holobiont health and functioning, however, remains poorly understood. To identify potential interactions within the coral holobiont, we characterized the novel isolate Endozoicomonas marisrubri sp. nov.
