The persistence of coral reef ecosystems relies on the symbiotic relationship between scleractinian corals and intracellular, photosynthetic dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium. Genetic evidence
As a well-known pseudo-persistent environmental pollutant, oxybenzone (BP-3) and its related organic ultraviolet (UV) filters have been verified to directly contribute to the increasing mortality rate
Maximizing growth and survival in the face of a complex, time-varying environment is a common problem for single-celled organisms in the wild. When offered two different sugars as carbon sources, micr
In order to reveal the differential mechanisms of tolerance to coral diseases, we investigated the Favites sp. and Poccillopora related fungus and Symbiodiniaceae by ITS.
To characterize eukaryotic microbial communities associated with different coral species, and to explore the relationship between these symbionts and coral health, we collected healthy and bleached ti
