Colocalization and potential interactions of Endozoicomonas and chlamydiae in microbial aggregates of the coral Pocillopora acuta
Corals are associated with a variety of bacteria, which occur in the surface mucus layer,
gastrovascular cavity, skeleton, and tissues. Some tissue-associated bacteria form clusters …

Metagenomics-resolved genomics provides novel insights into chitin turnover, metabolic specialization, and niche partitioning in the octocoral microbiome
T Keller-Costa, L Kozma, SG Silva, R Toscan… - Microbiome, 2022 - Springer
Background The role of bacterial symbionts that populate octocorals (Cnidaria, Octocorallia)
is still poorly understood. To shed light on their metabolic capacities, we examined 66 high …

Assessing the contribution of bacteria to the heat tolerance of experimentally evolved coral photosymbionts
Coral reefs are extremely vulnerable to ocean warming, which triggers coral bleaching—the
loss of endosymbiotic microalgae (Symbiodiniaceae) from coral tissues, often leading to …
