While rising ocean temperatures threaten reefs worldwide, nitrate pollution from sewage and agriculture is an often-overlooked danger that weakens corals and makes them more vulnerable to heat. The CUHK team found that corals thriving in highly polluted waters host exceptional bacteria that remove excess nitrate far more efficiently than typical microbes. This hidden microbial partnership allows some corals to endure harsh conditions, but could be overlooked in conventional surveys. The teamโs innovative population-genomic framework made possible to identify the hyper-efficient denitrifying bacteria.
Professor Luo said, โThis precise method for identifying functional microbial specialists can be applied to any ecosystem, opening a new pathway for using microbial therapies to enhance ecosystem resilience.โ Other team members include Professor Christian R. VOOLSTRA from the University of Konstanz, Professor Benoit THIBODEAU and Professor Shelby E. MCILROY from CUHK. The findings have been published in the internationally renowned journal ๐๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐ ๐พ๐ค๐ข๐ข๐ช๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ.
