Coral Microbiome Boosts 100% Survival at 33°C in Red Sea
al-fahal-reefResearch published in Cell Reports on September 3, 2026, validated a microbiome engineering intervention at Al Fahal Reef in the Red Sea. The study showed that corals treated with Beneficial Microorganisms for Corals (BMC) maintained a 100% survival rate at 33°C, compared to controls. This method increases the physiological buffering capacity of coral tissue against thermal stress, demonstrating the potential for industrial scalability without complex cold chain infrastructure.
