This study shows coral probiotics reduce ecosystem-level impacts of marine heatwaves by maintaining biodiversity and microbial interactions in adjacent communities.

This study shows that coral immune priming through pathogen exposure improves resilience to heat stress and infection, mediated by microbiome changes and gene expression modulation.

The paper tests probiotic and postbiotic treatments on corals during a marine heatwave, showing improved photosynthetic efficiency and microbiome/metabolic changes.
