Genomic prediction of symbiotic interactions between two Endozoicomonas clades and their coral host, Acropora loripes
This study reveals clade-specific genomic signatures of Endozoicomonas supporting its mutualistic lifestyle within corals. Findings suggests possible roles in nutrient cycling, reproductive health, and stress resilience, offering novel insights into coral holobiont functioning.
