@delcampolab.bsky.social🧬🦋 Demà, descobreix la recerca de l’#IBE_Barcelona a l’#OpenPRBB2026! El @prbb.org obre les portes amb activitats científiques gratuïtes dels set centres de recerca del parc. No t’ho perdis! 🧵👇 https://shorturl.at/WCq2T
Show PostThe #holobiont is the unit of coral health: host, symbionts, bacteria, and protists, all interconnected. This was the final chapter of Anthony's PhD, and I could not be prouder 🙌. Open access: doi.org/10.1186/s401...
Show PostFor the first time, we watched bacteria and microbial eukaryotes shift together during bleaching: suspected nitrifiers dropped early, while suspected denitrifiers and nitrate reducers rose, along with blooms of chlorophytes, diatoms, and labyrinthulids. #Microbiome #Protists #MicrobialEcology
Show PostMucocytes (mucus-producing gland cells) expanded under heat stress and appear to play an active role in the bleaching response.
Show PostThe two symbionts responded differently, especially in nitrogen-cycling transcripts. The host's gastrodermal cells showed apparent suppression of heat-stress genes, depending on which symbiont they carried. Bleaching is not one process; it is many, cell by cell. #CoralBleaching
