Microbial disease and the coral holobiont
Trends in Microbiology, 2009Tropical coral reefs harbour a reservoir of enormous biodiversity that is increasingly threatened by direct human activities and indirect global climate shifts. Emerging coral diseases are one serious threat implicated in extensive reef deterioration through disruption of the integrity of the coral holobiont - a complex symbiosis between the coral ...

Antibacterial Activity of Pseudoalteromonas in the Coral Holobiont
Microbial Ecology, 2012Corals harbor diverse and abundant prokaryotic populations. Bacterial communities residing in the coral mucus layer may be either pathogenic or symbiotic. Some species may produce antibiotics as a method of controlling populations of competing microbial species. The present study characterizes cultivable Pseudoalteromonas sp.

Molecular Delineation of Species in the Coral Holobiont
2012The coral holobiont is a complex assemblage of organisms spanning a diverse taxonomic range including a cnidarian host, as well as various dinoflagellate, prokaryotic and acellular symbionts. With the accumulating information on the molecular diversity of these groups, binomial species classification and a reassessment of species boundaries for the ...

2018
The fifth and final chapter in the book, “The Coral Holobiont: Hope and the Genomic Turn,” explores the hope encapsulated within coral life in the flesh. Holobionts, hologenomes, chimeras, and reticulate evolution are just a few of the concepts deployed by coral scientists to shed light on the microscopic and macroscopic complexity of corals ...

Global Networks of Symbiodinium-Bacteria Within the Coral Holobiont
Microbial Ecology, 2018Scleractinian corals form the framework of coral reefs and host abundant and diverse microbial communities that are fundamental to their success. A very limited number of studies have examined the co-occurrence of multiple partners within the coral 'holobiont' and their pattern of specificity over different geographical scales.

Insights into ‘Symbiodiniaceae phycosphere’ in a coral holobiont
Symbiosis, 2020Phycosphere is the region where algal exudates influence microbial communities. Since the term was coined, research has been focused on understanding free-living-phytoplankton and bacteria interactions. Coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis and its associated microbiomes have also been widely studied due to the increasing number of global and local threats ...

Osmoadjustment in the Coral Holobiont
2017Coral reefs are under considerable decline. The framework builders in coral reefs are scleractinian corals, which comprise so-called holobionts, consisting of cnidarian host, algal symbionts (genus Symbiodinium), and other associated microbes. Corals are commonly considered stenohaline osmoconformers, possessing limited capability to adjust to salinity

Microbial Interactions on Coral Surfaces and Within the Coral Holobiont
2016Microbial communities associated with coral surfaces are diverse and complex. They play key roles in nutrient acquisition by coral holobionts and in responses to stressors and diseases. Members of coral-associated microbiota produce antimicrobial compounds, inhibit cell-to-cell signaling, and disrupt virulence in opportunistic pathogens ...

Holobiont transcriptome of colonial scleractinian coral Alveopora japonica
Marine Genomics, 2019Abstract Climate change rapidly warms the ocean and marine species often move northwards for suitable habitats. Stony coral, Alveopora japonica, is observed more frequently for the last few years in temperate sea like Jeju Island, South Korea. To understand the ecological consequences such as habitat formation and fate of this species in changing ...

Holobiont Traits Shape Climate Change Responses in Cryptic Coral Lineages
Global Change BiologyABSTRACTAs ocean warming threatens reefs worldwide, identifying corals with adaptations to higher temperatures is critical for conservation. Genetically distinct but morphologically similar (i.e. cryptic) coral populations can be specialized to extreme habitats and thrive under stressful conditions.
