Microbiomes of stony and soft deep-sea corals share rare core bacteria
Microbiome, 2019 Background Numerous studies have shown that bacteria form stable associations with host corals and have focused on identifying conserved “core microbiomes” of bacterial associates inferred to be serving key roles in the coral holobiont.
