Article Synopsis
  • * A study identified dominant bacteria associated with T. hoshinota, including a unique cyanobacterium closely related to Prochloron, leading to its classification as a new species named Candidatus Paraprochloron terpiosi.
  • * The research reveals distinct genomic features between 'Paraprochloron' and Prochloron, along with potential roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling, providing insights into the microbiome of T. hoshinota and its ecological impacts.

Catch bowl coral, , is a shallow- water scleractinian species distributed in the Indo-West Pacific region, and has been studied for its reproduction, symbiont diversity, and population genetics. In order to develop microsatellite markers to reveal the genetic connectivity of in the Kenting reefs, southern Taiwan, we applied a stepwise approach including Illumina sequencing, primer screening, and validation. DNA sequences of each 6,363,035 read pairs were assembled with high coverage and sequencing depth, and 1,173,835 potential SSRs were identified.
