Climate change threatens the survival of scleractinian coral from exposure to concurrent
ocean warming, acidification and deoxygenation; how corals can potentially adapt to this trio …

Management of tailings at metal mine smelter sites can reduce the potential hazards
associated with exposure to toxic metal (loid) s and residual organic flotation reagents. In …

Elucidating the role of prokaryotic symbionts in mediating host physiology has emerged as
an important area of research. Since oysters are the world's most heavily cultivated bivalve …

Acclimatization via changes in the stable (core) or the variable microbial diversity and/or
abundance is an important element in the adaptation of coral species to environmental …

Heat-tolerant strains of the coral endosymbiont, Cladocopium C1acro (Symbiodiniaceae),
have previously been developed via experimental evolution. Here, we examine …

Since their radiation in the Middle Triassic period∼ 240 million years ago, stony corals have
survived past climate fluctuations and five mass extinctions. Their long-term survival …

Bleaching is one of the most relevant factors implicated in the integrity of coral reef
ecosystems, with the increasing frequency and intensity of damaging events representing a …

The occurrence of organic ultraviolet absorbers (OUVAs) in coral reef regions has aroused
widespread concern. This study focused on the occurrence, distribution, bioaccumulation …

Probiotic Bacillus subtilis has beneficial efficacy on host's health. The microbiota-gut-blood
system (MGBS) plays a crucial role in maintaining the homeostasis of hosts. However, the …

Reefs at Ko Samae San (S), Khao Ma Cho (K), and Ko Tao Mo (T), in the Gulf of Thailand
(GoT) represent a biodiversity hotspot, and bacteria play significant roles in maintaining the …
