Article Synopsis
- Coral reefs are at risk due to ocean warming, leading to coral bleaching and potential death of corals.
- To improve the heat tolerance of the symbiotic microalgae Cladocopium proliferum, researchers evolved it in high-temperature conditions for over a decade, altering its associated bacterial communities.
- Transplanting bacteria from heat-evolved strains to wild-type strains improved overall growth but did not significantly enhance heat tolerance, indicating the role of bacteria in coral adaptation to climate change.
