was recently reading that rhizobial and nonpathogenic vibrio are incredibly important to the coral holobiont. these and other diazotrophic bacteria can be 400 times as abundant in coral mucus as in the surrounding waters. perhaps this disparity can be even greater where uv sterilization is used. question for eli... if i were to send samples from a reef tank, is there any way to directly test coral mucus samples? if so, how much mucus would be needed? thanks!
