Microorganisms are ubiquitous and closely related to people's daily lives. Since they were first discovered in the 19th century, researchers have shown great interest microorganisms. People studied microorganisms through cultivation, but this method is expensive time consuming. However, cultivation cannot keep a pace with development of high-throughput sequencing technology. To deal problem, machine learning methods been widely applied field microbiology. Literature reviews that can be used many aspects microbiology research, especially classification problems, for exploring interaction between surrounding environment.

Coral Probiotics: Premise, Promise, Prospects

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 9(1), P. 265 - 288

Published: Dec. 15, 2020

The use of Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMCs) has been proposed recently as a tool the improvement coral health, with knowledge in this research topic advancing rapidly. BMCs are defined consortia microorganisms that contribute to health through mechanisms include (a) promoting nutrition and growth, (b) mitigating stress impacts toxic compounds, (c) deterring pathogens, (d) benefiting early life-stage development. Here, we review current BMC approach outline studies have proven its potential increase resilience stress. We revisit expand list putative beneficial associated corals their mechanismsthat facilitate improved host performance. Further, discuss caveats bottlenecks affecting efficacy close by focusing on next steps application at larger scales can improve outcomes reefs globally.

Pathogenesis of a Tissue Loss Disease Affecting Multiple Species of Corals Along the Florida Reef Tract

Frontiers in Marine Science, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 6

An outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), emerged on reefs off the coast southeast Florida in 2014 and continues to spread throughout Florida's Reef Tract. SCTLD is causing extensive mortality multiple species signs vary among affected with differences rates (acute subacute), lesion morphology (adjacent bleached zone or not) occurrence (focal multi-focal). We examined virulence, transmission dynamics response antibiotic treatment exhibiting different types lesions from two regions Florida. M. cavernosa subacute region near Fort Lauderdale was compared corals (multiple species) acute Middle Keys. Corals both showed progressive but situ rate significantly higher tagged colonies Aquaria studies occurred through direct contact water column for regions. However, success vs. lesions. There 100% test species, meandrites, touching Among three lesions, transmitted readily O. faveolata (100%) followed by (30%) no occurring P. astreoides. Diseased fragments all tested responded a cessation slowing suggesting that bacteria are involved progression. Mortality canvernosa exposed microbes may be types. since not measured Keys, we cannot completely rule out common pathogen less virulent within cavernosa.
