The seaweed holobiont: understanding seaweed-bacteria interactions. (2013, background): “2), in line with what has been suggested for the coral holobi-ont (Rosenberg et al. , 2007; Bourne et al. , 2009).”
Allelochemicals produced by Caribbean macroalgae and cyanobacteria have species-specific effects on reef coral microorganisms (2011, background): “…within the marine environment varies in response to changing environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, pH, nutrients, pollutants) (Wommack et al. 1999), and bacterial symbionts may allow host organisms to respond more efficiently to these changes (Reshef et al. 2006; Rosenberg et al. 2007).”
Nutrient cycling in early coral life stages: Pocillopora damicornis larvae provide their algal symbiont (Symbiodinium) with nitrogen acquired from bacterial associates (2013, neutral): “In addition to Symbiodinium, corals host a wide range of microscopic organisms including bacteria, fungi, Archaea, and viruses, which together form a collaborative consortium known as the coral holobiont (Rohwer et al. 2002; Rosenberg et al. 2007).”
Cellular mechanisms of Cnidarian bleaching: stress causes the collapse of symbiosis (2008, background): “Even corals that recover exhibit decreased growth, fecundity (Coles and Brown, 2003) and increased susceptibility to disease (Rosenberg et al., 2007).”
A Symbiotic View of Life: We Have Never Been Individuals (2012, background): “populations of symbionts (Rosenberg et al. 2007).”
Microbial genes, brain & behaviour – epigenetic regulation of the gut–brain axis (2014, background): “From this point of view, the concept of a ‘hologenome’ (Rosenberg et al. 2007 2009, see Box 1), could be enhanced by the existence of the ‘holo-epigenome’, giving credit to the fact that the diverse microbial genes act as an additional interface for environmental interaction and an dynamic and…”
Role of microorganisms in the evolution of animals and plants: the hologenome theory of evolution. (2008, background): “In the present paper, we shall address this question by developing and discussing the hologenome theory of evolution, which was briefly mentioned in a previous review on coral microbiology (Rosenberg et al., 2007).”
Soft inheritance: challenging the modern synthesis (2008, background): “The idea that the target of selection may be the community of interacting and transmissible genomes rather than a classical individual may also alter our understanding of evolutionary dynamics (Rosenberg et al., 2007).”
Current challenges and best-practice protocols for microbiome analysis (2019, background): “advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) that helped to precisely identify microbial species and associated metabolic pathways [5, 9, 10].”
Metabolite profiling of symbiont and host during thermal stress and bleaching in the coral Acropora aspera (2017, background): “interactions, forming the coral holobiont (Rohwer et al. 2002; Rosenberg et al. 2007).”
The Hologenome Concept: Human, Animal and Plant Microbiota (2014, methodology): “These structures interact with diverse forms of microbial life; It has been shown that the coral holobiont contains microbial representatives from all three kingdoms—Bacteria, Archaea, and Eucarya as well as numerous viruses (Rosenberg et al. 2007).”
