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 …

Tropical reefs are commonly transitioning from coral to macroalgal dominance, but the role
of macroalgae in coral decline remains inadequately understood. A growing body of …

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 …

Host-associated microbial communities are shaped by extrinsic and intrinsic factors to the
holobiont organism. Environmental factors and microbe-microbe interactions act …

Scleractinian corals are bathed in a sea of planktonic and particle‐associated
microorganisms. The metabolic products of corals influence the growth and composition of …

Background Microbiome/host interactions describe characteristics that affect the host's
health. Shotgun metagenomics includes sequencing a random subset of the microbiome to …

Tropical scleractinian corals are dependent to varying degrees on their photosymbiotic
partners. Under normal levels of temperature and irradiance, they can provide most, but not …

The coral holobiont is comprised of a highly diverse microbial community that provides key
services to corals such as protection against pathogens and nutrient cycling. The coral …

The rapidly advancing field of metabolomics encompasses a diverse suite of powerful
analytical and bioinformatic tools that can help to reveal the diversity and activity of chemical …

Phycosphere is the region where algal exudates influence microbial communities. Since the
term was coined, research has been focused on understanding free-living-phytoplankton …
