Abstract
AbstractCoral microhabitats are colonized by a myriad of microorganisms, including diverse bacteria which are essential for host functioning and survival. However, the location, transmission, and functions of individual bacterial species living inside the coral tissues remain poorly studied. Here, we show that a previously undescribed bacterial symbiont of the coralPocillopora acutaforms cell-associated microbial aggregates (CAMAs) within the mesenterial filaments. CAMAs were found in both adult
