Harnessing the Power of Model Organisms To Unravel Microbial Functions in the Coral Holobiont. [PDF]

Microbiol Mol Biol Rev, 2022
Stony corals build the framework of coral reefs, ecosystems of immense ecological and economic importance. The existence of these ecosystems is threatened by climate change and other anthropogenic stressors that manifest in microbial dysbiosis such as ...

Heat stress reduces the contribution of diazotrophs to coral holobiont nitrogen cycling. [PDF]

ISME J, 2022
Efficient nutrient cycling in the coral-algal symbiosis requires constant but limited nitrogen availability. Coral-associated diazotrophs, i.e., prokaryotes capable of fixing dinitrogen, may thus support productivity in a stable coral-algal symbiosis but

Diel transcriptional responses of coral-Symbiodiniaceae holobiont to elevated temperature

Communications Biology
Coral 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 coral Oculina patagonica holobiont and its response to confinement, temperature, and Vibrio infections

Microbiome
Background 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.

Localization and symbiotic status of probiotics in the coral holobiont. [PDF]

mSystems
ABSTRACT Corals establish symbiotic relationships with microorganisms, especially endosymbiotic photosynthetic algae. Although other microbes have been commonly detected in coral tissues, their identity and beneficial functions for their host are unclear. Here, we confirm the beneficial outcomes of the

Thermal extremes likely trigger metabolic imbalance in coral holobionts

Scientific Reports
Rising ocean temperatures are constraining the availability of dissolved oxygen and simultaneously increasing the respiratory oxygen requirements of marine organisms.

The roles and interactions of symbiont, host and environment in defining coral fitness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND: Reef-building corals live in symbiosis with a diverse range of dinoflagellate algae (genus Symbiodinium) that differentially influence the fitness of the coral holobiont.

Oxygen Deprivation Implicated in Rapid Coral Mortality Under Acute Heating Events. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
When corals were exposed to rapid heating, oxygen around their tissues fell sharply before the tissues broke down and the corals died. Similar tissue breakdown occurred when corals were deprived of oxygen without heating, while stronger water flow delayed the damage by improving oxygen delivery.
