Microbiome Restructuring: Dominant Coral Bacterium Endozoicomonas Species Respond Differentially to Environmental Changes

This repository contains the script used to analyze data and create figures for the manuscript "Microbiome Restructuring: Dominant Coral Bacterium Endozoicomonas Species Respond Differentially to Environmental Changes" published in mSystems

All sequencing data generated in the manuscript was submitted under the BioProject no. PRJNA758232, and the “Ca. Endozoicomonas penghunesis” genome was made available under GenBank accession no. SAMN21016876.

Importance of this study The coral microbiome has been known to play a crucial role in host health. In recent years, we have known that the coral microbiome changes in response to external stressors and that coral hosts structure their microbiome in a host-specific manner. However, an important internal factor, the ability of microbiome members to respond to change, has been often neglected. In this study, we combine metabarcoding, culturing, and genomics to delineate the differential ability of two dominant Endozoicomonas species, including a novel “Ca. Endozoicomonas penghunesis” 4G, to respond to change in the environment following a reciprocal transplant experiment.
