Standardized 16S Meta‐Analysis Reveals Consistent Host‐Associated Patterns in Laminariales Epiphytic Microbiomes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
An integrated bioinformatic pipeline combining taxonomic, functional, and network analyses revealed host‐driven structuring of macroalgal microbiomes. Phaeophyceae hosted distinct epiphytic communities enriched in chemoheterotrophy and polysaccharide degradation, highlighting metabolic coupling, keystone taxa, and a standardized framework for ...

Pre-Bleaching Coral Microbiome Is Enriched in Beneficial Taxa and Functions

Microorganisms
Coral reef health is tightly connected to the coral holobiont, which is the association between the coral animal and a diverse microbiome functioning as a unit.

The Algal Symbiont Modifies the Transcriptome of the Scleractinian Coral Euphyllia paradivisa during Heat Stress

Microorganisms, 2019
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.

Leveraging Microbes for Sustainable Development Goal 14 Progress

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Microbial systems can contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water efforts by transforming plastics, removing excess nitrogen, supporting coastal restoration and improving aquaculture sustainability. Advancing these applications requires field‐scale validation, ecological risk assessment and innovative deployment strategies ...

Genomic prediction of symbiotic interactions between two Endozoicomonas clades and their coral host, Acropora loripes

Animal Microbiome
Background The bacterial genus Endozoicomonas is a predominant member of the coral microbiome, widely recognised for its ubiquity and ability to form high-density aggregates within coral tissues.

Is a Commensal Here, a Pathogen There? Genotype Specific Responses by the Sea Anemone Nematostella vectensis to Vibrio Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Animals rely on diverse molecular mechanisms to maintain beneficial microbial associations while also defending against pathogens, yet the extent to which these responses vary among genotypes of a single species remains poorly understood.

Unlocking the single-cell mysteries of a reef-building coral

, 2021
Coral reefs are one of the most important ecosystems in the world but least understood from a cellular level. In this issue of Cell, Levy et al. unravel the single-cell gene expression of the coral holobiont and open the doors to better understand the ...

Cryptic Interactions in a Marine Microcosm: Sponges Shape the Microbiome of a Resident Goby

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial symbionts influence ecological and evolutionary processes in their multicellular hosts; yet they remain poorly characterised in marine systems. Sponges host exceptionally diverse microbiomes, potentially providing rich microbial reservoirs for their residents.

Heat‐evolved coral photosymbionts exhibit dampened stress responses across distinct physiological contexts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1755-1773, August 2026.
Summary Experimental evolution under elevated temperatures has generated heat‐evolved (HE) strains of Symbiodiniaceae that enhance coral bleaching tolerance. However, the biomolecular mechanisms underlying this resilience remain poorly understood. We conducted a laboratory heat‐stress experiment and applied synchrotron‐based Fourier transform infrared (

Weak Structure and Environment‐Associated Loci Across a Eutrophication Gradient in a Resilient Coral Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Marine species often have large effective population sizes and high connectivity that reduce drift and preserve diversity, but how these features shape adaptation to anthropogenic change remains unclear; Oulastrea crispata, a stress‐tolerant Indo‐Pacific coral, is an ideal test case along a strong eutrophication gradient. Using RADseq on 90 individuals
