The Complexity of the Holobiont in the Red Sea Coral Euphyllia paradivisa under Heat Stress
Microorganisms, 2020 The recognition of the microbiota complexity and their role in the evolution of their host is leading to the popularization of the holobiont concept. However, the coral holobiont (host and its microbiota) is still enigmatic and unclear.

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 ...

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

Sponge-derived matter is assimilated by coral holobionts
Communications Biology, 2023 Abstract Coral reef biodiversity is maintained by a complex network of nutrient recycling among organisms. Sponges assimilate nutrients produced by other organisms like coral and algae, releasing them as particulate and dissolved matter, but to date, only a single trophic link between sponge-derived dissolved ...

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.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Coral reefs are known for being highly productive ecosystems in oligotrophic oceans, which is commonly referred to as the Darwin’s Paradox. Nitrogen is an essential component of organisms, but it limits primary productivity in most euphotic ocean ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Recent research suggests that nitrogen (N) cycling microbes are important for coral holobiont functioning. In particular, coral holobionts may acquire bioavailable N via prokaryotic dinitrogen (N2) fixation or remove excess N via denitrification activity.

Baseline dynamics of Symbiodiniaceae genera and photochemical efficiency in corals from reefs with different thermal histories [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Ocean warming and marine heatwaves induced by climate change are impacting coral reefs globally, leading to coral bleaching and mortality. Yet, coral resistance and resilience to warming are not uniform across reef sites and corals can show inter- and ...

Lineage-specific symbionts mediate differential coral responses to thermal stress
Microbiome, 2023 Background Ocean warming is a leading cause of increasing episodes of coral bleaching, the dissociation between coral hosts and their dinoflagellate algal symbionts in the family Symbiodiniaceae.

Evidence for phosphonate usage in the coral holobiont [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2009 Abstract Phosphonates are characterized by a stable carbon–phosphorus bond and commonly occur as lipid conjugates in invertebrate cell membranes. Phosphonoacetate hydrolase encoded by the phnA gene, catalyses the cleavage of phosphonoacetate to acetate and phosphate.
