Salinity-Conveyed Thermotolerance in the Coral Model Aiptasia Is Accompanied by Distinct Changes of the Bacterial Microbiome

Salinity-Conveyed Thermotolerance in the Coral Model Aiptasia Is Accompanied by Distinct Changes of the Bacterial Microbiome

Coral bleaching, i.e., the loss of photosynthetic algal endosymbionts, caused by ocean warming is now among the main factors driving global reef decline, making the elucidation of factors that contribute to thermotolerance important. Recent studies implicate high salinity as a contributing factor in...
