Abstract excerpt
Corals harbor a wide diversity of bacteria associated with their mucus. These bacteria can play an important role in nutrient cycling, degradation of xenobiotics and defense against pathogens by producing antimicrobial compounds. However, the diversity of the cultivable heterotrophic bacteria, especially in the Brazilian coral species, remains poorly understood. The present work compares the diversity of...
