Acute Heat Priming Dampens Gene Expression Response to Thermal Stress in a Widespread Acropora Coral

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
(a) Experimental design. Corals from 10 genotypes were distributed across two experimental blocks, each containing nine flow‐through tanks. Fragments from five genotypes were placed in each tank. (b) Temperature profiles and sampling time points in the heat stress assay, demonstrating ramp up from control conditions (27ºC, MMM) to the preconditioning ...

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.

Coral lipid bodies as the relay center interconnecting diel-dependent lipidomic changes in different cellular compartments

Scientific Reports, 2017
Lipid bodies (LBs) in the coral gastrodermal tissues are key organelles in the regulation of endosymbiosis and exhibit a diel rhythmicity. Using the scleractinian Euphyllia glabrescens collected across the diel cycle, we observed temporally dynamic lipid

Microbiomes and metabolomes of dominant coral reef primary producers illustrate a potential role for immunolipids in marine symbioses

Communications Biology, 2023
The dominant benthic primary producers in coral reef ecosystems are complex holobionts with diverse microbiomes and metabolomes. In this study, we characterize the tissue metabolomes and microbiomes of corals, macroalgae, and crustose coralline algae via

Microbial community composition of deep-sea corals from the Red Sea provides insight into functional adaption to a unique environment [PDF]

, 2017
Microbes associated with deep-sea corals remain poorly studied. The lack of symbiotic algae suggests that associated microbes may play a fundamental role in maintaining a viable coral host via acquisition and recycling of nutrients. Here we employed 16 S

Stoichiometric regulation of nitrogen and carbon fluxes in Acropora coral facing short‐term stress of ammonium loading

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Scleractinian coral evolved under nitrogen (N)‐limited conditions. The increase in N flux from anthropogenic activities to these otherwise N‐depleted environments is threatening coral health and coral reef ecosystem function. We tested the effect of elevated ammonium (NH4+) loading on Acropora metabolism responses (respiration, gross primary ...

Distinct coral environments shape the dynamic of planktonic Vibrio spp.

Environmental Microbiome, 2023
Background Coral reefs are one of the most biodiverse and productive ecosystems, providing habitat for a vast of species. Reef-building scleractinian corals with a symbiotic microbiome, including bacteria, archaea, viruses and eukaryotic microbes, are ...

In situ photobiology of corals over large depth ranges: A multivariate analysis on the roles of environment, host, and algal symbiont [PDF]

, 2008
We applied a multivariate analysis to investigate the roles of host and symbiont on the in situ physiological response of genus Madracis holobionts towards light.

The Coral Host Microbiome Modulates the Virulence of the Bacterial Pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.
The coral microbiome has been shown to protect the host (bottom right panel), but dysbiosis can increase susceptibility to infection by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus. Treatment of Montipora capitata coral with antibiotics induced dysbiosis, which increased infection rates of less pathogenic V. coralliilyticus strains.

Shift of symbiont communities in Acropora tenuis juveniles under heat stress [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Ocean warming is a major threat to coral reefs, leading to an increasing frequency and amplitude of coral bleaching events, where the coral and its algal symbiont associations breakdown.
