Biological and molecular characterisation of growth anomalies affecting Isopora palifera at the Cocos Keeling Islands

Growth anomalies are a type of coral disease affecting Isopora palifera at the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Traditional diagnostic techniques determined this disease impairs skeletal growth processes and reproductive functioning. DNA metabarcoding showed bacterial associations were broadly similar betwe...
