The first temporal and spatial assessment of Vibrio diversity of the surrounding seawater of coral reefs in Ishigaki, Japan

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Coral reefs perform a major role in regulating marine biodiversity and serve as hotspot for highly dynamic and diverse microbiomes as holobionts. Corals around Ishigaki, however, are at risk due to tremendous stressors including elevation of seawater ...

Stronger Together: Isograft Fusion Accelerates Recovery and May Facilitate Heat‐Evolved Symbiont Transmission in Bleached Adult Corals

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study investigates whether tissue fusion between adult corals enables transmission of heat‐evolved (HE) symbionts. After ~50 days of fusion to a donor, HE symbionts were detected in chemically bleached Galaxea fascicularis recipients. Fusion also accelerated post‐bleaching recovery.

Metabolomics of reef benthic interactions reveals a bioactive lipid involved in coral defence [PDF]

, 2016
Holobionts are assemblages of microbial symbionts and their macrobial host. As extant representatives of some of the oldest macro-organisms, corals and algae are important for understanding how holobionts develop and interact with one another.

Environmental Factors Have a Stronger Influence on the Coral Holobiont in Comparison to Geographic Distance Along a 15,000‐km East‐to‐West Transect Through the Coral Triangle, Pacific and Indian Oceans

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To determine the factors that structure coral‐associated microbial communities (bacteria and Symbiodiniaceae). These microbial communities play critical roles in reef ecosystem function, yet the relative importance of environmental versus geographic drivers in structuring these communities across large spatial scales remains poorly ...

Advancing Symbiodiniaceae Functional Ecology Through a Trait‐Based Framework

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are central to coral reef functioning, supporting primary production, nutrient cycling, calcification, and influencing coral thermal tolerance through intracellular symbiosis. Despite their ecological importance, these symbionts have not yet been incorporated into a formal functional ecology framework due to challenges ...

Data for: Relative abundance of nitrogen cycling microbes in coral holobionts reflects environmental nitrate availability

, 2020
Recent research suggests that nitrogen (N) cycling microbes are important for coral holobiont functioning. In particular, coral holobionts may acquire bioavailable N via prokaryotic dinitrogen (N2) fixation or remove excess N via denitrification activity.

δ13C as a Continuum: Tissue‐Based, Ontogenetic, and Interspecific Variation in Carbon Sourcing of a Photosymbiotic Bivalve (Subfamily Fraginae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Relationship between Fragum unedo shell height (mm) and tissue δ13C. Points are color coded by shell size categories (small, medium, big) with symbol shapes representing the types of tissues (foot, mantle, or gill). ABSTRACT Photosymbiotic marine invertebrates derive carbon from both symbiont photosynthesis and heterotrophic feeding, yet the relative ...

Microbial diversity and transcriptome profiling in coral holobionts [PDF]

, 2010
Coral reefs are often considered as the proverbial canary in the mine for the oceans. Their current decline alarmingly correlates with indirect and direct anthropogenic stress resulting in increased frequencies and geographic spread of mass mortality, i ...

Sponges on shifting reefs: holobionts show similar molecular and physiological responses to coral versus macroalgal food

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionMany coral reefs witness an ongoing coral-to-algae phase shift. Corals and algae release large quantities of (in)organic nutrients daily, of which a large part is utilized by sponges.

Genomic Attributes of Novel Symbiont Pseudovibrio brasiliensis sp. nov. Isolated From the Sponge Arenosclera brasiliensis

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Sponge holobionts are defined as the host animals and their associated microbiomes. Both host and microbiome produce extracellular products that facilitate interaction within the holobiont.
