This paper develops an expansion microscopy workflow to visualize subcellular features of Breviolum minutum, a cnidarian photosymbiont, overcoming challenges posed by autofluorescence and small size.

The paper uses RNAseq to analyze the functional roles of different compartments in the coral holobiont Porites lutea, revealing metabolic interactions and nutrient cycling.

This study evaluates ozone nanobubbles for removing cyanobacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes in water systems, showing improved performance over conventional ozonation in drinking water but lower efficiency in treated wastewater.

The paper uses genomic analysis to identify clade-specific features of Endozoicomonas bacteria and their potential roles in coral symbiosis and holobiont functioning.

SingleM and Sandpiper improve microbial taxonomic profiling in metagenomic data by detecting novel species and showing most environments are dominated by unrepresented taxa.

This study examines the spatial distribution of Endozoicomonas bacterial aggregates in Acropora loripes coral tissues, revealing distinct aggregation patterns between two phylogenetic clades.

This study applies FastSAM for automated algal cell segmentation and clustering in water samples, showing high accuracy for single cells and varying clustering performance.

The paper uses fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy to study the spatial association between B. minutum and intracellular bacteria under light-dark cycles, finding changes in bacterial abundance linked to photoperiod.

This paper identifies a novel chlamydial species infecting photosynthetic dinoflagellates, expanding the known host range of chlamydiae and suggesting potential interactions with chloroplasts.

The paper shows that DNA from non-viable bacteria can bias diversity estimates in corals, using PMA treatment to distinguish viable from non-viable DNA.
