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 ...

Stable and sporadic symbiotic communities of coral and algal holobionts [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2015
Abstract Coral and algal holobionts are assemblages of macroorganisms and microorganisms, including viruses, Bacteria, Archaea, protists and fungi. Despite a decade of research, it remains unclear whether these associations are spatial–temporally stable or species-specific.

The Tara Pacific expedition-A pan-ecosystemic approach of the "-omics" complexity of coral reef holobionts across the Pacific Ocean.

PLoS Biology, 2019
Coral reefs are the most diverse habitats in the marine realm. Their productivity, structural complexity, and biodiversity critically depend on ecosystem services provided by corals that are threatened because of climate change effects-in particular ...

Relative Diazotroph Abundance in Symbiotic Red Sea Corals Decreases With Water Depth

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Microbial dinitrogen (N2) fixation (diazotrophy) is a trait critical for coral holobiont functioning. The contribution of N2 fixation to holobiont nitrogen (N) supply likely depends on the ecological niche of the coral holobiont.

The Coral Holobiont: A Brief Overview of Corals and Their Microbiome

EDIS
Caribbean and tropical western Atlantic reefs have declined drastically since the 1970s. In some locales like the Florida Keys, the decline of branching corals approached 98%. These declines are widely attributed to recurring stressors such as high ocean temperatures and disease.

Chilling Injury to Algal Symbionts Induces Host Starvation and Metabolic Reorganization in a Temperate Cnidarian [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Global temperature anomalies increasingly disrupt the cnidarian‐algal symbiosis resulting in a phenomenon termed bleaching. In contrast to heat stress, the mechanisms underlying symbiotic breakdown under cold stress remain largely unknown. Combining physiological and metabolomic measurements, we investigated the response of the photosymbiotic ...

Whole transcriptome analysis reveals changes in expression of immune-related genes during and after bleaching in a reef-building coral [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
Climate change is negatively affecting the stability of natural ecosystems, especially coral reefs. The dissociation of the symbiosis between reef-building corals and their algal symbiont, or coral bleaching, has been linked to increased sea surface ...

Symbiont‐Mediated Molybdenum Cycling Shapes Coral Skeletal Mo Isotopes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Coral skeletal trace‐metal compositions are commonly assumed to derive from seawater, yet the extent to which biological processes contribute remains poorly constrained. Here we present the first paired Mo isotope measurements of coral tissue, symbiotic zooxanthellae, and skeleton.

Coral-associated microbial communities in reef-building corals of Ningaloo Reef Western Australia [PDF]

, 2011
Coral reefs are at risk and human-induced environmental stressors in synergism with microorganisms have been shown to be the key players for their deterioration.
