Nitrogen cycling in corals: the key to understanding holobiont functioning? [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2015
Corals are animals that form close mutualistic associations with endosymbiotic photosynthetic algae of the genus Symbiodinium. Together they provide the calcium carbonate framework of coral reef ecosystems. The importance of the microbiome (i.e., bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses) to holobiont functioning has only recently been recognized.

First insight into the viral community of the cnidarian model metaorganism Aiptasia using RNA-Seq data [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Current research posits that all multicellular organisms live in symbioses with associated microorganisms and form so-called metaorganisms or holobionts.

The acute and chronic low-temperature stress responses in Porites lutea from a relatively high-latitude coral reef of the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Relatively high-latitude coral reefs could be potential “refuges” for corals under climate change. One of the most important aspects limiting their availability as refuges is low-temperature stress.

Coral-Associated Viral Assemblages From the Central Red Sea Align With Host Species and Contribute to Holobiont Genetic Diversity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Coral reefs are highly diverse marine ecosystems increasingly threatened on a global scale. The foundation species of reef ecosystems are stony corals that depend on their symbiotic microalgae and bacteria for aspects of their metabolism, immunity, and ...

The Coral Holobiont: A Brief Overview of Corals and Their Microbiome

EDIS
Caribbean and tropical western Atlantic reefs have declined drastically since the 1970s. In some locales like the Florida Keys, the decline of branching corals approached 98%. These declines are widely attributed to recurring stressors such as high ocean temperatures and disease.

Symbiont‐Mediated Molybdenum Cycling Shapes Coral Skeletal Mo Isotopes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Abstract Coral skeletal trace‐metal compositions are commonly assumed to derive from seawater, yet the extent to which biological processes contribute remains poorly constrained. Here we present the first paired Mo isotope measurements of coral tissue, symbiotic zooxanthellae, and skeleton.

Host and Environment Shape the Giant Clam‐Associated Photosymbiont Community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study explored the diversity and composition of Symbiodiniaceae in eight giant clam species across selected sites in the Philippines to gain insights into the factors driving symbiont community structure. Using ITS2 metabarcoding, we discovered that most giant clams were dominated by a single photosymbiont genus, with Cladocopium as the most ...

Relational knowing as method and practice

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3585-3600, October 2026.
Abstract This paper seeks to contribute to (re)building the capacity for embodied, place‐based relational knowing, transforming how we know and thus what we know. What is known, or sought to be known, is relations. How we know these relations is by already being in it: breathing, sensing, moving, listening, responding, affecting and being affected ...

Corals at the extreme: partitioning the response of coral holobionts to marginal habitats [PDF]

, 2021
While coral reefs worldwide are threatened by unprecedented environmental change, some reef-building corals can already be found living under extreme conditions within marginal habitats.

Metabolic Design Patterns for a Regenerative Architecture

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 10, October 2026.
This simplified diagram illustrates the three core Metabolic Design Patterns: Toilet as Hearth, Kitchen Garden, and Greywater Wetland, which form the foundation of a regenerative domestic infrastructure. Each pattern integrates bioelectrical systems (BES) and bioreactors into recognisable domestic programmes, transforming waste streams into resources ...
