Species-specific control of external superoxide levels by the coral holobiont during a natural bleaching event

The reactive oxygen species superoxide (O(2)(·−)) is both beneficial and detrimental to life. Within corals, superoxide may contribute to pathogen resistance but also bleaching, the loss of essential algal symbionts. Yet, the role of superoxide in coral health and physiology is not completely unders...
