Characterization of the Microbiome of Corals with Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease along Florida’s Coral Reef

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is an emergent and often lethal coral disease that was first reported near Miami, FL (USA) in 2014. Our objective was to determine if coral colonies showing signs of SCTLD possess a specific microbial signature across five susceptible species sampled in Florid...
