A genome-centric view of the role of the Acropora kenti microbiome in coral health and resilience - Nature Communications

Apr 3, 2024 | nature.com | Lauren Messer |David Bourne |Megan Clay |Sara Bell |Simon J. McIlroy

AbstractMicrobial diversity has been extensively explored in reef-building corals. However, the functional roles of coral-associated microorganisms remain poorly elucidated. Here, we recover 191 bacterial and 10 archaeal metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from the coral Acropora kenti (formerly A. tenuis) and adjacent seawater, to identify microbial functions and metabolic interactions within the holobiont. We show that 82 MAGs were specific to the A.
