The paper identifies temperature-sensitive microbial taxa in the cnidarian Exaiptasia diaphana that signal early thermal stress before host fitness declines.

The paper isolates and characterizes bacterial candidates from seagrass Zostera marina that promote plant growth by nitrogen mobilization, sulfur oxidation, phosphorus solubilization, and IAA production.

This paper uses EcoFAB 2.0 to study microbiome assembly in Zostera marina seedlings, identifying stage-specific microbial indicators and demonstrating controlled microbiome manipulation.

This study examines how antibiotic exposure affects the microbiome and fitness of the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana, showing reduced microbial load and host fitness, with partial recovery leading to a less diverse but more stable microbiome.

The paper introduces metaFISH, a spatial metabolomics pipeline that links host and microbial metabolites in situ, revealing metabolic adaptations and novel symbiosis metabolites in deep-sea mussels.
