UV Resistance in Coral Mucus Microbiome: Investigating Microbial Adaptations to UV Stress
This research focuses on understanding the role of the coral mucus microbiome in protecting coral reefs from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. By studying the microbial communities in coral mucus, the project aims to explore how these microorganisms contribute to the coral's resistance to UV-induced stress. The findings could provide insights into developing strategies for coral conservation and resilience in the face of climate change and environmental stressors.
