Chemical richness and composition of metabolites detected by GC-MS (polar metabolites) The untargeted metabolite profiling of the investigated samples revealed an annotation of 285 features (detected monoisotopic signals characterized by their specific retention time and mass to charge ration) (Supplementary Table 1). A total of 66 of these features were identified and classified as metabolites of […] More

When faced with extreme stress, coral reefs can undergo bleaching: a breakdown of the relationship between the animal host and their colourful internal photosynthetic symbionts. Bleached corals that are unable to recover their symbiont populations face starvation, disease and death. Bizarrely, bleaching sometimes results in vibrantly green-, yellow- or purple–blue-coloured coral, rather than white. These […] More
