Insights into the occurrence of phylosymbiosis and co-phylogeny in the holobionts of octocorals from the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea [PDF]

Animal Microbiome
Background Corals are the foundational species of coral reefs and coralligenous ecosystems. Their success has been linked to symbioses with microorganisms, and a coral host and its symbionts are therefore considered a single entity, called the holobiont.

Day-night cycle as a key environmental factor affecting coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Interpreting the coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis in light of the day-night cycle may provide missing links in understanding the function of endosymbiosis.

Significant Changes in Bacterial Communities Associated with Pocillopora Corals Ingestion by Crown-of-Thorns Starfish: An Important Factor Affecting the Coral’s Health

Microorganisms, 2022
Coral ingestion by crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) is an important cause of coral reef degradation, although the impacts of COTS feeding on coral-associated microbial communities are not well understood.

Transcriptome analyses to investigate symbiotic relationships between marine protists [PDF]

, 2015
International audienceRhizaria are an important component of oceanic plankton communities worldwide. A number of species harbor eukaryotic microalgal symbionts, which are horizontally acquired in the environment at each generation.

Meta-transcriptomic comparison of two sponge holobionts feeding on coral- and macroalgal-dissolved organic matter

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Sponge holobionts (i.e., the host and its associated microbiota) play a key role in the cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in marine ecosystems.

Defining Coral Bleaching as a Microbial Dysbiosis within the Coral Holobiont [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced breakdown of the symbiosis between the host and its dinoflagellate algae (that is, “bleaching”), is one of the most devastating outcomes for reef ecosystems.

Genomic signatures suggesting adaptation to ocean acidification in a coral holobiont from volcanic CO2 seeps

Communications Biology, 2023
Ocean acidification, caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions, is predicted to have major consequences for reef-building corals, jeopardizing the scaffolding of the most biodiverse marine habitats.

Coral holobionts and biotechnology: from Blue Economy to coral reef conservation

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2022
Corals are of ecological and economic importance, providing habitat for species and contributing to coastal protection, fisheries, and tourism. Their biotechnological potential is also increasingly recognized. Particularly, the production of pharmaceutically interesting compounds by corals and their microbial associates stimulated natural product-based

Holobiont Evolution: Mathematical Model with Vertical vs. Horizontal Microbiome Transmission [PDF]

, 2020
A holobiont is a composite organism consisting of a host together with its microbiome, such as a coral with its zooxanthellae. To explain the often intimate integration between hosts and their microbiomes, some investigators contend that selection ...

What is a hologenomic adaptation? Emergent individuality and inter-identity in multispecies systems [PDF]

, 2020
Contemporary biological research has suggested that some host–microbiome multispecies systems (referred to as “holobionts”) can in certain circumstances evolve as unique biological individual, thus being a unit of selection in evolution.
