NYU Abu Dhabi Study Reveals How Coral-Associated Bacteria Help Corals Survive Extreme Heat

Bacterial steroid hormones shape coral immunity during heat stress

Nature Microbiology - Coral-associated Endozoicomonas convert cholesterol into testosterone and progesterone, steroid hormones that reprogram coral immune responses during heat stress. The findings...

The Microbial Signals Shaping Coral Responses to Extreme Heat

Endozoicomonas is one of the most abundant bacteria associated with healthy corals around the globe. Despite its consistent association with healthy reef-building corals, a fundamental question...

Steroid hormones produced by coral-associated Endozoicomonas influence coral immune response during...

Nature Microbiology - Multi-omics and laboratory experiments reveal that a coral-associated bacterium can produce testosterone and progesterone; these two hormones alter the coral host’s...
