ABSTRACT Animal responses to bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms are important for understanding how host–microbe interactions lead to divergent molecular responses by the host and the assembly of the holobiont. The immune system of the animal and the resident microbial community are critical factors in the response, or lack thereof, by a host ...

Dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) metabolism within the coral holobiont
Felicity Kuek studied dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) metabolism within the coral holobiont focusing on the role of coral-associated bacteria in the production of DMSP, and the possible functions of its catabolic product, acrylate. She found that coral-associated bacteria are important contributors to the total pool of organic sulphur compounds ...

The profound mutualistic symbiosis between corals and their endosymbiotic counterparts, Symbiodiniaceae algae, has been threatened by the increase in seawater temperatures, leading to breakdown of the symbiotic relationship—coral bleaching.

Microbiome structure of the fungid coral Ctenactis echinataaligns with environmental differences [PDF]
The significance of bacteria for eukaryotic functioning is increasingly recognized. Coral reef ecosystems critically rely on the relationship between coral hosts and their intracellular photosynthetic dinoflagellates, but the role of the associated ...

Seasonal Fluctuations of the Seagrass Holobiont under Contrasting Environmental Conditions
(A) The inharmonious state of the Coorong and the different sample types collect with throughout this study. (B, C) Biofilm, including the presence of diatoms and bacteria, attached on the leaves of Ruppia. ABSTRACT Microbial communities are widely recognised as indicative of ecosystem health.

Variability in Microbial Community Composition and Function Between Different Niches Within a Coral Reef [PDF]
To explore how microbial community composition and function varies within a coral reef ecosystem, we performed metagenomic sequencing of seawater from four niches across Heron Island Reef, within the Great Barrier Reef.
