ABSTRACT To address the metabolic potential of symbiotic Aquimarina spp., we report here the genome sequence of Aquimarina sp. strain EL33, a bacterium isolated from the gorgonian coral Eunicella labiata. This first-described (to our knowledge) animal-associated Aquimarina genome possesses a sophisticated repertoire of genes involved in drug/antibiotic resistance and biosynthesis.

Bioactive Secondary Metabolites from Octocoral-Associated Microbes—New Chances for Blue Growth
TLDR
To extend knowledge and foster the near-future laboratory production of bioactive compounds from (cultivatable and currently uncultivatable) octocoral symbionts, optimal blending between targeted metagenomics, DNA recombinant technologies, improved symbiont cultivation, functional genomics, and analytical chemistry are required.
Host-microbe interactions in octocoral holobionts - recent advances and perspectives
Octocorals are one of the most ubiquitous benthic organisms in marine ecosystems from the shallow tropics to the Antarctic deep sea, providing habitat for numerous organisms as well as ecosystem…
Functional metagenomics reveals differential chitin degradation and utilization features across free-living and host-associated marine microbiomes
TLDR
Using cultivation-independent, taxonomic assignments of endo-chitinase encoding genes, previously unsuspected richness and divergent structures of chitinolytic communities across host-associated and free-living biotopes are unveiled, revealing putative roles for uncultivated Gammaproteobacteria and Chloroflexi symbionts in chitin processing within sessile marine invertebrates.
Ecological and biotechnological importance of secondary metabolites produced by coral‐associated bacteria
TLDR
How analysis of CAB has led to the discovery of secondary metabolites with potential biotechnological applications is described and how the combined use of meta‐omics and innovative growth‐diffusion techniques can vastly improve theiscovery of novel compounds in coral environments is suggested.
Comparative genomics reveals complex natural product biosynthesis capacities and carbon metabolism across host-associated and free-living Aquimarina (Bacteroidetes, Flavobacteriaceae) species.
TLDR
This study determines the natural product biosynthesis and full coding potential within the bacterial genus Aquimarina, and demonstrates that the recently described cuniculene (trans-AT PKS) BGC is conserved among, and specific to, the here delineated A. megaterium-macrocephali-atlantica phylogenomic clade.
In silico Prediction of Virus-Host Interactions for Marine Bacteroidetes With the Use of Metagenome-Assembled Genomes
TLDR
This study investigated the recently reported 1,811 marine viral genomes to identify putative Bacteroidetes viruses using various in silico host prediction techniques and used microbial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) to augment the marine Bacteridetes reference genomic data.
Bacterial Communities Show Algal Host (Fucus spp.)/Zone Differentiation Across the Stress Gradient of the Intertidal Zone
TLDR
Natural (unmanipulated) bacterial communities of three Fucus congeners as well as those of F. vesiculosus transplanted to the high zone and the mid zone during summer in Maine suggest that the abiotic stressors that shape distributional patterns of host species also affect their bacterial communities.
