This study shows antibiotic pretreatment improves microbiome transplant success in corals by enhancing bacterial uptake, though it does not increase core donor microbiome retention.

The paper identifies a chromid in Pseudovibrio bacteria that transforms them from opportunistic pathogens to beneficial symbionts, increasing coral thermal tolerance by 1°C.

This study examines how macroalgal contact affects coral microbiomes and Symbiodiniaceae communities in two coral species, finding inter-colony variation in responses to macroalgal stress.

The paper examines microbial succession and host selection in seagrass meadows, finding that host-associated microbiomes show directional changes while sediment communities show different patterns.
