Uncovering the Unique: Singling Out a Bacterium from the Crowd
Scientists have recently discovered a bacterium that can help solve one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time: overcrowding in our oceans. The bacterium, known as Vibrio coralliilyticus, is capable of rapidly consuming the coral mucus secreted by corals, thus helping to reduce the overcrowding in coral reefs. This finding could have significant implications for restoring coral reefs and protecting the aquatic ecosystems they support.
