Reef microbiomes exhibit persistent spatial structure with sediment microbes changing rapidly over weeks, while coral symbionts remain stable across time and space.
Coral-associated denitrification varies seasonally and species-specifically, with rates up to 2.0 nmol N cm−2 h−1 in Dendrophylliidae indet corals.
Lysosomal proteins are co-opted to form the symbiosome, enabling photosymbiosis in corals and anemones, with the transporter SLC26A11 being essential for this process.
Disrupted microbiomes amplify temperature-induced respiration increases in Rowella lancifera sponges under simulated marine heatwaves.
Microbiome-assisted restoration has the potential to enhance resilience of marine ecosystem engineers, but practical application remains limited to laboratory research with few field tests.
Deep-sea megafauna co-opt microbial energy genes, like ND1, to survive over 5 years of starvation, revealing a novel evolutionary adaptation.
