from anthropogenic environmental change. Corals are holobionts that comprise the …

Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation destroy coral reefs, the
ecosystem services they provide, and the livelihoods of close to a billion people who …

Beneficial microorganisms for corals (BMCs) ameliorate environmental stress, but whether
they can prevent mortality and the underlying host response mechanisms remains elusive …

Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

The past two decades has witnessed a remarkable increase in the number of microbial
genomes retrieved from marine systems,. However, it has remained challenging to translate …

Animals and plants are metaorganisms and associate with microbes that affect their
physiology, stress tolerance, and fitness. Here the hypothesis that alteration of the …

The use of Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMCs) has been proposed recently as a
tool for the improvement of coral health, with knowledge in this research topic advancing …
