As waters warm due to climate change, corals are in mortal peril. But corals comprise multiple organisms: a coral host, a photosynthetic microalgae, and a little-characterized microbiome. When warm waters stress corals but before they bleach, a coral’s microbes, including its photosynthetic partner, may be what helps them take the heat. <ul><li><a href='https://jgi.doe.gov/user-science/genome-insider'>Find all episode transcripts on our website</a></li><li><a href='https://jgi.doe.gov/work-with-us/proposals'>Submit a proposal to work with the JGI!</a></li></ul>
