Coral microbiome dynamics, functions and design in a changing world
MJH van Oppen, LL Blackall - Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2019 - nature.com
Corals associate not only with dinoflagellates, which are their algal endosymbionts and
which have been extensively studied over the past four decades, but also with a variety of …

Beneficial microorganisms for corals (BMC): proposed mechanisms for coral health and resilience
The symbiotic association between the coral animal and its endosymbiotic dinoflagellate
partner Symbiodinium is central to the success of corals. However, an array of other …

Bacterial community dynamics are linked to patterns of coral heat tolerance
Ocean warming threatens corals and the coral reef ecosystem. Nevertheless, corals can be
adapted to their thermal environment and inherit heat tolerance across generations. In …

Responses of coral-associated bacterial communities to local and global stressors
The microbial contribution to ecological resilience is still largely overlooked in coral reef
ecology. Coral-associated bacteria serve a wide variety of functional roles with reference to …

Coral microbiome composition along the northern Red Sea suggests high plasticity of bacterial and specificity of endosymbiotic dinoflagellate communities
Background The capacity of reef-building corals to tolerate (or adapt to) heat stress is a key
factor determining their resilience to future climate change. Changes in coral microbiome …

Defining coral bleaching as a microbial dysbiosis within the coral holobiont
A Boilard, CE Dubé, C Gruet, A Mercière… - Microorganisms, 2020 - mdpi.com
Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–
microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced …

Comparative genomics: Dominant coral-bacterium Endozoicomonas acroporae metabolizes dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP)
Dominant coral-associated Endozoicomonas bacteria species are hypothesized to play a
role in the coral sulfur cycle by metabolizing dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) into …
