[HTML][HTML] 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 …

[HTML][HTML] Multiple impacts of microplastics can threaten marine habitat-forming species
Microplastics are recognised as a potential global threat to marine ecosystems, but the
biological mechanisms determining their impact on marine life are still largely unknown …

Biodiversity, climate change, and adaptation in the Mediterranean
Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …

Natural volcanic CO2 seeps reveal future trajectories for host–microbial associations in corals and sponges
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are rapidly rising causing an increase in the partial
pressure of CO2 (p CO2) in the ocean and a reduction in pH known as ocean acidification …

Differential specificity between closely related corals and abundant Endozoicomonas endosymbionts across global scales
Reef-building corals are well regarded not only for their obligate association with
endosymbiotic algae, but also with prokaryotic symbionts, the specificity of which remains …

[HTML][HTML] Endozoicomonas genomes reveal functional adaptation and plasticity in bacterial strains symbiotically associated with diverse marine hosts
Endozoicomonas bacteria are globally distributed and often abundantly associated with
diverse marine hosts including reef-building corals, yet their function remains unknown. In …

[HTML][HTML] 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 …

[HTML][HTML] Metagenomic insights into the taxonomy, function, and dysbiosis of prokaryotic communities in octocorals
Abstract Background In octocorals (Cnidaria Octocorallia), the functional relationship
between host health and its symbiotic consortium has yet to be determined. Here, we …
