Defining Coral Bleaching as a Microbial Dysbiosis within the Coral Holobiont

Defining Coral Bleaching as a Microbial Dysbiosis within the Coral Holobiont

Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced breakdown of the symbiosis between the host and its dinoflagellate algae (that is, “bleaching”), is one of the...
