Evolutionary significance of the microbial assemblages of large benthic Foraminifera
Large benthic Foraminifera (LBF) are major carbonate producers on coral reefs, and are
hosts to a diverse symbiotic microbial community. During warm episodes in the geological …

Ocean acidification induces biochemical and morphological changes in the calcification process of large benthic foraminifera
Large benthic foraminifera are significant contributors to sediment formation on coral reefs,
yet they are vulnerable to ocean acidification. Here, we assessed the biochemical and …
