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 ...

The extended phenotypes of marine symbioses: ecological and evolutionary consequences of intraspecific genetic diversity in coral-algal associations

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Reef-building corals owe much of their success to a symbiosis with dinoflagellate microalgae in the genus Symbiodinium. In this association, the performance of each organism is tied to that of its partner, and together the partners form a holobiont that

Limited influence of seasonality on coral microbiomes and endosymbionts in an equatorial reef

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Coral-associated bacteria and Symbiodiniaceae are critical for maintaining the health of their coral hosts. Factors that are known to affect the coral microbiome include biogeography, seasonality, and environmental change, but longitudinal studies are ...

Multi-omics determination of metabolome diversity in natural coral populations in the Pacific Ocean

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Coral reefs are considered one of the most emblematic ecosystems in our oceans, but their existence is increasingly threatened by climate change. In this study, natural populations of two reef-building coral genera, Pocillopora spp. and Porites spp., and

Integrative omics framework for characterization of coral reef ecosystems from the Tara Pacific expedition

Scientific Data, 2023
Coral reef science is a fast-growing field propelled by the need to better understand coral health and resilience to devise strategies to slow reef loss resulting from environmental stresses.

Antibiotics Alter Pocillopora Coral-Symbiodiniaceae-Bacteria Interactions and Cause Microbial Dysbiosis During Heat Stress

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Symbioses between eukaryotes and their associated microbial communities are fundamental processes that affect organisms’ ecology and evolution. A unique example of this is reef-building corals that maintain symbiotic associations with dinoflagellate ...

Beneath the surface: community assembly and functions of the coral skeleton microbiome

Microbiome, 2019
Coral microbial ecology is a burgeoning field, driven by the urgency of understanding coral health and slowing reef loss due to climate change. Coral resilience depends on its microbiota, and both the tissue and the underlying skeleton are home to a rich

Microbial compartments in the reef and coral holobiont – Symbiodiniaceae

The primary photosymbionts of tropical reef-building corals belong to the microalgal family Symbiodiniaceae. These eukaryotic dinoflagellates, commonly known as ‘zooxanthellae,’ form intracellular associations with cnidarian hosts and represent a key nutritional component of the coral microbiome.
