Significant Shifts in Microbial Communities Associated with Scleractinian Corals in Response to Algae Overgrowth

Microbes play a key role in reef dynamics, mediating the competition between scleractinian corals and benthic algae; however, major shifts in bacterial communities among coral species in response to increases in the abundance of algae are not well understood. We investigated the taxonomic compositio...
