Baseline microbiomes of the pillar coral <i>Dendrogyra cylindrus</i> reveal novel taxa and regional differences

2026-04-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The pillar coral Dendrogyra cylindrus is a rare but iconic member of Caribbean reefs that has suffered range-wide losses. D. cylindrus is highly susceptible to stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), and the outbreak has contributed to the functional extinction of Florida’s population of pillar corals. The coral microbiome can impact the health and disease resistance of coral colonies, yet li...
