Algae and bacteria have coexisted ever since the early stages of evolution. This coevolution
has revolutionized life on earth in many aspects. Algae and bacteria together influence …

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 …

Diseases of tropical reef organisms is an intensive area of study, but despite significant
advances in methodology and the global knowledge base, identifying the proximate causes …

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 …

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 …

Endozoicomonas bacteria are globally distributed and often abundantly associated with
diverse marine hosts including reef-building corals, yet their function remains unknown. In …

Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. They support high biodiversity
of multicellular organisms that strongly rely on associated microorganisms for health and …

In recent impetus of phycological research, microalgae have emerged as a potential
candidate for various arena of application-driven research. Omics-based tactics are used for …

Stony corals are poster child holobionts due to their intimate association with diverse
microorganisms from all domains of life. We are only beginning to understand the diverse …

Studies of the coral microbiome predominantly characterize the microbial community of the
host species as a collective, rather than that of the individual. This ecological perspective on …
