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 …

Surfaces immersed in seawater are rapidly colonized by various microorganisms, resulting
in the formation of heterogenic marine biofilms. These communities are known to influence …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a form of chemical communication used by certain bacteria that
regulates a wide range of biogeochemically important bacterial behaviors. Although QS was …

Symbiotic microorganisms play critical ecophysiological roles that facilitate the maintenance
of coral health. Currently, information on the gene and protein pathways contributing to …

Disruption of the microbiome often correlates with the appearance of disease symptoms in
metaorganisms such as corals. In Black Band Disease (BBD), a polymicrobial disease …

Production and release of outer‐membrane vesicles (OMVs) is known in many bacteria
including human pathogens. To date, OMV release has not been reported in coral …

The productivity and biodiversity of coral reefs are unmatched in the marine environment
(Hatcher 1990). Surrounded by oligotrophic oceans, coral reefs are buzzing oases of life in a …

Coral associated microorganisms, especially some opportunistic pathogens can utilize
quorum‐sensing (QS) signals to affect population structure and host health. However, direct …

Cnidarians rely on the innate immune defenses based on self/non-self recognition, signaling
and effector responses to kill pathogens and heal wounds. Like other invertebrates, the …

Quorum sensing (QS) and quorum quenching (QQ) are two antagonistic processes that may
regulate the composition, function and structure of bacterial community. In coral holobiont …
