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 …

Corals are considered one of the most complex microbial biospheres studied to date,
hosting thousands of bacterial phylotypes in species-specific associations. There are …

Health and resilience of the coral holobiont depend on diverse bacterial communities often
dominated by key marine symbionts of the Endozoicomonadaceae family. The factors …

Endozoicomonas bacteria are emerging as extremely diverse and flexible symbionts of
numerous marine hosts inhabiting oceans worldwide. Their hosts range from simple …

Reef-building corals provide the foundation for the structural and biological diversity of coral-
reef ecosystems. These massive biological structures, which can be seen from space, are …

In the last two decades, genetic and genomic studies have revealed the astonishing
diversity and ubiquity of microorganisms. Emergence and expansion of the human …

Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in characterization of the coral
microbiota. Shifts in its composition often correlate with the appearance of signs of diseases …

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

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 …

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 …
