The interaction between the proliferating macroalga Asparagopsis taxiformis and the coral Astroides calycularis induces changes in microbiome and metabolomic fingerprints [PDF]

, 2017
Mediterranean Sea ecosystems are considered as hotspots of biological introductions, exposed to possible negative effects of non-indigenous species.

A selective breeding design based on parental rapid heat stress thresholds did not produce more heat‐tolerant coral larvae

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Coral broodstock were phenotyped using a rapid heat stress assay and ranked according to their performance (photochemical efficiency). Selectively breeding the broodstock based on their performance did not produce larvae with enhanced heat tolerance. Created in BioRender. Lamb, A. (2025) https://BioRender.com/zcgk0g6.

Millennia‐old coral holobiont DNA provides insight into future adaptive trajectories

Molecular Ecology, 2021
AbstractAncient DNA (aDNA) has been applied to evolutionary questions across a wide variety of taxa. Here, for the first time, we utilized aDNA from millennia‐old fossil coral fragments to gain new insights into a rapidly declining western Atlantic reef ecosystem.

Dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) metabolism within the coral holobiont

, 2021
Felicity Kuek studied dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) metabolism within the coral holobiont focusing on the role of coral-associated bacteria in the production of DMSP, and the possible functions of its catabolic product, acrylate. She found that coral-associated bacteria are important contributors to the total pool of organic sulphur compounds ...

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.

Microbiomes of Healthy and Bleached Corals During a 2016 Thermal Bleaching Event in the Andaman Sea of Thailand

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
As seawater temperature rises, repeated thermal bleaching events have negatively affected the reefs of the Andaman Sea for over decades. Studies on the coral-associated microbial diversity of prokaryotes and microbial eukaryotes (microbiome) in healthy ...

Concordant Patterns of Population Genetic Structure and Symbiont Communities in a Broadcasting Spawning Coral Along a Western Australian Fringing Reef

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We explored fine‐scale patterns of connectivity and symbiont associations across the Ningaloo reefscape to inform on post‐disturbance recovery, larval dispersal capabilities, and recruitment dynamics. We detected low but significant population genetic structure among sample sites spread across Ningaloo Reef with the highest diversity in southern sites.

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.

Corals and Sponges Under the Light of the Holobiont Concept: How Microbiomes Underpin Our Understanding of Marine Ecosystems

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In the past 20 years, a new concept has slowly emerged and expanded to various domains of marine biology research: the holobiont. A holobiont describes the consortium formed by a eukaryotic host and its associated microorganisms including bacteria ...
