The hologenome theory disregards the coral holobiont [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2007 The ‘hologenome theory of evolution’, proposed by Rosenberg and colleagues1, suggests that reef corals, and by extrapolation other multicellular organisms, adapt to environmental stress by alterations in their resident microbial communities. Although this is an interesting idea, we strongly disagree with aspects of this theory, specifically those ...

ISME Communications, 2022 The coral-algal symbiosis is maintained by a constant and limited nitrogen availability in the holobiont. Denitrifiers, i.e., prokaryotes reducing nitrate/nitrite to dinitrogen, could contribute to maintaining the nitrogen limitation in the coral ...

Fungal Host Affects Photosynthesis in a Lichen Holobiont
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Corals and lichens are iconic examples of photosynthetic holobionts, i.e., ecological and evolutionary units resulting from the tightly integrated association of algae and prokaryotic microbiota with animal or fungal hosts, respectively.

Distinct bacterial communities associated with the coral model Aiptasia in aposymbiotic and symbiotic states with Symbiodinium. [PDF]
, 2016 Coral reefs are in decline. The basic functional unit of coral reefs is the coral metaorganism or holobiont consisting of the cnidarian host animal, symbiotic algae of the genus Symbiodinium, and a specific consortium of bacteria (among others), but ...

The sponge holobiont in a changing ocean: from microbes to ecosystems [PDF]
, 2018 The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now considered holobionts, complex ecosystems consisting of the host, the microbiota ...

Coral holobiont cues prime Endozoicomonas for a symbiotic lifestyle
The ISME Journal, 2022 Abstract Endozoicomonas are prevalent, abundant bacterial associates of marine animals, including corals. Their role in holobiont health and functioning, however, remains poorly understood. To identify potential interactions within the coral holobiont, we characterized the novel isolate Endozoicomonas marisrubri sp. nov.

Microorganisms, 2020 The elemental (C/N) and stable isotopic (δ13C, δ15N) compositions and compound-specific δ15N values of amino acids (δ15NAA) were evaluated for coral holobionts as diagnostic tools to detect spatiotemporal environmental heterogeneity and its effects on ...

Symbiosis As The Way Of Eukaryotic Life: The Dependent Co-Origination Of The Body [PDF]
, 2014 Molecular analyses of symbiotic relationships are challenging our biological definitions of individuality and supplanting them with a new notion of normal part whole relationships. This new notion is that of a \u27holobiont\u27, a consortium of organisms

Nitrogen Fixation Aligns with nifH Abundance and Expression in Two Coral Trophic Functional Groups
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Microbial nitrogen fixation (diazotrophy) is a functional trait widely associated with tropical reef-building (scleractinian) corals. While the integral role of nitrogen fixation in coral nutrient dynamics is recognized, its ecological significance ...

Symbiont diversity is not involved in depth acclimation in the Mediterranean sea whip Eunicella singularis [PDF]
, 2011 In symbiotic cnidarians, acclimation to depth and lower irradiance can involve physiological changes in the photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbiont, such as increased chlorophyll content, or qualitative modifications in the symbiont population in ...
