Literature covered: early 2000s to late 2017 Bacteria frequently exchange metabolites with
other micro-and macro-organisms. In these often obligate cross-feeding interactions, primary …

Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

Corals are fundamental ecosystem engineers, creating large, intricate reefs that support
diverse and abundant marine life. At the core of a healthy coral animal is a dynamic …

Endozoicomonas are prevalent, abundant bacterial associates of marine animals, including
corals. Their role in holobiont health and functioning, however, remains poorly understood …

Coral-reef ecosystems are experiencing frequent and severe disturbance events that are
reducing global coral abundance and potentially overwhelming the natural capacity for reefs …

Background Coral reefs are facing unprecedented pressure on local and global scales.
Sensitive and rapid markers for ecosystem stress are urgently needed to underpin effective …

To thrive in nutrient-poor waters, coral reefs must retain and recycle materials efficiently. This
review centers microbial processes in facilitating the persistence and stability of coral reefs …

Zooxanthellate corals (ie those harbouring Symbiodinium) are the main builders of the
world's shallow‐water marine coral reefs. They represent intimate diverse symbioses …

ABSTRACT A paradigm shift has recently transformed the field of biological science;
molecular advances have revealed how fundamentally important microorganisms are to …

Here we report the oil degradation genetic potential of six oil-degrading bacteria (ODB),
previously used as a bioremediation consortium, isolated from the hydrocoral Millepora …
