Bacterial regulation of coral larval metamorphosis and settlement in Pocillopora damicornis

Abstract Bacteria play a significant role in triggering coral larval metamorphosis and settlement in many coral species. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms behind coral larval metamorphosis and settlement triggered by bacteria remain enigmatic. Thus, we perform a bacteria-induced metamorph...
