Probiotic treatments help heat-stressed corals survive, field trial finds
Reported byOceanographic Magazine ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A 15-day field experiment during a natural marine heat wave in the Red Sea found that both live probiotic and inactivated postbiotic treatments improved coral health, with one probiotic formula and one postbiotic formula producing significant improvements in the Acropora cf. valida corals tested.
The trial was conducted over 15 days in one location during one heat wave; scaling microbial therapies to protect reefs globally will require further research and field testing.
