Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.Reef microbiomes before the arrival of stony coral tissue loss disease (vulnerable stage) during the outbreak (epidemic) and after (endemic). Microbial diversity, network metrics, and functional potential varied among apparently healthy corals and the surrounding water and sediments across the stages.

Microbial compartments in the reef and coral holobiont – Symbiodiniaceae
The primary photosymbionts of tropical reef-building corals belong to the microalgal family Symbiodiniaceae. These eukaryotic dinoflagellates, commonly known as ‘zooxanthellae,’ form intracellular associations with cnidarian hosts and represent a key nutritional component of the coral microbiome.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In Belize, shallow populations (10 and 16 m) of the coral species Montastraea cavernosa from the back reef and reef crest are genetically differentiated from deeper populations on the fore reef and reef wall (25 and 35 m).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Coral reefs around the world are increasingly threatened by rising ocean temperatures, leading to more frequent mass bleaching events. However, some corals, typically found in more thermally variable environments, have demonstrated resilience to thermal stress.

Nutrient Availability and Metabolism Affect the Stability of Coral–Symbiodiniaceae Symbioses [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2019 Coral reefs rely upon the highly optimized coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis, making them sensitive to environmental change and susceptible to anthropogenic stress. Coral bleaching is predominantly attributed to photo-oxidative stress, yet nutrient availability and metabolism underpin the stability of symbioses. Recent studies link symbiont proliferation

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3309-3321, November 2025.Abstract Light and temperature are driving forces that shape the evolution and physiology of mesophotic organisms. On the Mississippi‐Alabama continental shelf, octocorals dominate the mesophotic seascape and provide habitat for many fish and invertebrate species.

Massive genome reduction predates the divergence of Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates
The ISME JournalAbstract Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae are taxonomically diverse, predominantly symbiotic lineages that are well-known for their association with corals. The ancestor of these taxa is believed to have been free-living. The establishment of symbiosis (i.e.

Assessing Molecular Localization of Symbiont Microalgae in Coral Branches Through Mass Spectrometry Imaging [PDF]
Reef-building corals are a fundamental pillar of coral reef ecosystems in tropical and subtropical shallow environments. Corals harbor symbiotic dinoflagellates belonging to the family Symbiodiniaceae, commonly known as zooxanthellae.

Caribbean Reef-Building Coral-Symbiodiniaceae Network: Identifying Symbioses Critical for System Stability in a Changing Climate [PDF]
, 2022 Increasing global ocean temperatures and frequency of marine heatwaves pose dire consequences for coral reefs. High temperatures often lead to disruptions in coral symbiosis resulting in coral bleaching, increasing the mortality of corals.
