Functional potential and evolutionary response to long-term heat selection of bacterial associates of coral photosymbionts

ABSTRACTCorals rely on a wide range of microorganisms for their functioning, including intracellular dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) and bacteria. Marine heatwaves trigger the loss of Symbiodiniaceae from coral tissues–coral bleaching–often leading to death. While coral-bacteria interactions are w...
