Bacterial Communities in Tissues and Surficial Mucus of the Cold-Water Coral Paragorgia arborea

Coral bacterial associates can play important functional roles for the holobiont, such as nitrogen cycling, nutrient processing, and supporting immunity. While bacteria found within the microbiome of corals may benefit the host, they can also be linked to pathogenesis. In the deep-sea, cold-water co...
