Relative abundance of nitrogen cycling microbes in coral holobionts reflects environmental nitrate availability

Relative abundance of nitrogen cycling microbes in coral holobionts reflects environmental nitrate availability

Recent research suggests that nitrogen (N) cycling microbes are important for coral holobiont functioning. In particular, coral holobionts may acquire bioavailable N via prokaryotic dinitrogen (N2) fixation or remove excess N via denitrification activity. However, our understanding of environmental...
