DOI: 10.1128/mbio.00812-18
Abstract: We propose that the coral holobiont should be conceptualized as a diverse transient microbial community that is responsive to the surrounding environment and encompasses a simple, redundant, resident microbiome and a small conserved core microbiome.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1007877
Abstract: Over the past two decades, researchers have searched for methods to better understand the relationship between coral hosts and their microbiomes. Data on how coral-associated bacteria are involved in their host’s responses to stressors that… read more here.
