This paper describes the isolation and characterization of Ruegeria persistens sp. nov., a coral-associated bacterium that persists in a coral holobiont over eight months.

The paper identifies a coral probiotic strain with enhanced thermal tolerance and characterizes its genomic and functional traits associated with long-term host association.

This paper identifies a probiotic bacterium with persistent colonization in corals using evolutionary genomic markers, showing improved thermal tolerance and survival during bleaching.

This study shows that the reverse dissimilatory sulfite reductase (rDsr) pathway can independently oxidize thiosulfate under low oxygen conditions, supporting its ecological role in marine sediments.
