Abstract
AbstractCyanobacterial mats supplanting coral and spreading coral diseases in tropical reefs, intensified by environmental shifts caused by human‐induced pressures, nutrient enrichment, and global climate change, pose grave risks to the survival of coral ecosystems. In this study, we characterized Okeanomitos corallinicola gen. and sp. nov., a newly discovered toxic marine heterocyte‐forming cyanobacterium isolated from a coral reef ecosystem of the South China Sea. Phylogenetic analysis, based
