Implication

Investigates how thermal and pollution stress alters microbiomes in coral reefs, suggesting conservation strategies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to understand how coral-associated microbiomes respond to thermal and pollution stress to enhance coral resilience.
  • Analyzed 587 coral samples across a 15° latitudinal range in the South China Sea.
  • Combined environmental factor measurements with ITS2 and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing.
  • Assessed changes in composition and function of Symbiodiniaceae and bacteria.
  • Dominance of Symbiodiniaceae and bacteria varied with latitude due to sea surface temperature effects.
  • Heat-tolerant Symbiodiniaceae and specific bacteria were more prevalent in low-latitude corals.
  • Bacterial gene expression shifted towards triglyceride and glycogen degradation under heat stress.
