Coral, fish, and turf algae microbiomes exposed to a nutrient enrichment experiment

While studies show that nutrient pollution shifts reef trophic interactions between macroalgae and corals, we know less about how the microbiomes associated with these organisms react to such disturbances. To investigate how microbiome dynamics are affected during nutrient pollution, we exposed replicate Porites lobata corals colonized by the fish Stegastes nigricans, which farm an algal matrix on the coral, to a pulse of nutrient enrichment over a two-month period and examined the microbiome of each partner using 16S amplicon analysis.
