Article Synopsis
  • - Two specific strains (SCP14 and SCP15) were extracted from coral remains in Singapore, particularly in high-temperature conditions.
  • - The genomes of these strains were sequenced, which means their genetic makeup was analyzed and recorded.
  • - The genetic information revealed important elements that contribute to the health of coral, especially when they face temperature-related stress.

A sp. was isolated from the skeleton of the heat resilient coral . Genome analysis revealed the presence of the complete denitrification pathway and potential dimethylsulfoniopropionate metabolism which enhance coral resilience and production of tropodithietic acid, an antibiotic implicated in host defense.

Marine sponges are known to host a complex microbial consortium that is essential to the health and resilience of these benthic invertebrates. These sponge-associated microbes are also an important source of therapeutic agents. The Neptune's Cup sponge, , once believed to be extinct, was rediscovered off the southern coast of Singapore in 2011.
