A beneficial megaplasmid transforms an opportunistic bacterial pathogen to benefit coral by extending their thermal range

2026-06-19

Abstract excerpt

Resilient turbid coral reefs, found 1° north of the equator, experience fewer and less intense bleaching events despite being situated within the world’s busiest shipping port in highly urbanised Singapore. We hypothesised that bacteria within the coral holobiont play a role in maintaining coral diversity within this extreme environment by conferring traits that enhance host tolerance. Eleven Pseudovibrio isolate...
