    KAUST Marine Scientist Dr. Raquel Peixoto administers probiotics, or Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMC), to Pocillopora verrucosa coral in controlled aquarium environments.
  • It is the first of its kind to show that Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMC) can protect bleached corals from death, by stimulating immune processes that help them rebuild their microbiome environment and offset post-heat stress disorder symptoms driven by thermal stress.
  • The scientists created a probiotic using microbes derived from the coral itself, selecting strains with traits deemed likeliest to boost resilience.
  • They inoculated two groups of corals in controlled environmentsthose with probiotics and those with a placebo, exposing both to the same degree of thermal stress.
