Hi coral microbe people, Can anyone recommend a reference paper for “good” vs “bad” bacteria in the coral microbiome? I’m disseminating the results of my 16S data and what bacteria may be beneficial versus opportunistic or harmful. #AcademicTwitter #coralmicrobiome

We tracked a coral-associated virus lineage at the reef scale - in >50 coral colonies over 3+ years! 🪸  Excited to share our new paper on viruses that infect coral dinoflagellate symbionts (aka 'dinoRNAVs') out today ISME Communications Rice University @CorreaLab news.rice.edu/news/2023/ocea…

Join us in honoring the legacy of Beth Buchanan, a quietly strong member of the Rice community whose impact will never be forgotten. Her story shows the power of perseverance and dedication. zurl.co/QkK5

Microbial Ecology vs. Microbiology

Out today in The ISME Journal thru extensive #TEM imaging, we show that a diversity of coral symbionts contain filamentous virus-like particles (fVLPs) see ⬇️for highlights

Excited to share preliminary results from one of my dissertation chapters today at #OSM24! Find me at poster 575 in Marine Ecosystems Across Scales, Time, and Biology (4-6pm) to chat about biofilm assembly, succession, and benthic invert settlement on coral reefs 🪸 #SLIME

vAMPirus: a comprehensive pipeline for virus amplicon data analysis. We demonstrate its use on DNA and RNA virus datasets and reveal corallivore fish feces as a reservoir of Symbiodiniaceae-infecting viruses. Check it out! shorturl.at/0I31n #coralreefs #virusbioinformatics
