Among abiotic stresses, heat stress is described as one of the major limiting factors of crop
growth worldwide, as high temperatures elicit a series of physiological, molecular, and …

Biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation supplies nitrogen to the oceans, supporting primary
productivity, and is carried out by some bacteria and archaea referred to as diazotrophs …

Coral reefs are highly diverse ecosystems that thrive in nutrient-poor waters, a phenomenon
frequently referred to as the Darwin paradox. The energy demand of coral animal hosts can …

Microbially mediated nitrogen cycling in carbon-dominated cold seep environments remains
poorly understood. So far anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME-2) and their sulfate …

Mutualism between Synechococcus and heterotrophic bacteria has been found to support
their prolonged survival in nutrient-depleted conditions. However, environmental …

Efficient nutrient cycling in the coral-algal symbiosis requires constant but limited nitrogen
availability. Coral-associated diazotrophs, ie, prokaryotes capable of fixing dinitrogen, may …

Background The importance of symbiosis has long been recognized on coral reefs, where
the photosynthetic dinoflagellates of corals (Symbiodiniaceae) are the primary symbiont …

The world's coral reefs are threatened by the cumulative impacts of global climate change
and local stressors. Driven largely by a desire to understand the interactions between corals …

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), the conversion of N2 into bioavailable nitrogen (N), is the
main process for replenishing N loss in the biosphere. However, BNF in groundwater …

Microbial communities play key roles in the adaptation of corals living in adverse
environments, as the microbiome flexibility can enhance environmental plasticity of coral …
