Coral-associated microorganisms provide crucial nutritional, protective, and developmental benefits, yet many functional traits remain unexplored. Phototrophic bacteria may enhance coral nutrition and reduce oxidative stress during bleaching via photosynthesis and antioxidant production. Despite this potential, their role in the holobiont's energy budget and heat stress resilience is understudied. This review explores the functional traits and potential of phototrophic bacteria to enhance coral health and resilience under environmental stress.
与珊瑚相关的微生物提供了至关重要的营养、保护和发育益处，但许多功能特性仍未得到探索。光合细菌可能通过光合作用和抗氧化剂的产生来增强珊瑚的营养并减少白化过程中的氧化应激。尽管有这种潜力，但它们在共生体能量平衡和热应激恢复力中的作用仍未得到充分研究。本综述探讨了光合细菌在环境压力下增强珊瑚健康和恢复力的功能特性和潜力。
