Coral-associated microorganisms provide crucial nutritional, protective, and developmental benefits, yet many functional traits remain unexplored. Phototrophic bacteria may enhance coral nutrition reduce oxidative stress during bleaching via photosynthesis antioxidant production. Despite this potential, their role in the holobiont's energy budget heat resilience is understudied. This review explores potential of phototrophic to health under environmental stress.
