Coral reefs worldwide are suffering mass mortalities from marine heat waves. With the aim of enhancing coral bleaching tolerance, we evolved 10 clonal strains of a common coral microalgal endosymbiont at elevated temperatures (31°C) for 4 years in the laboratory. All 10 heat-evolved strains had expanded their thermal tolerance in vitro following laboratory evolution. After reintroduction into coral host larvae, 3 of the 10 heat-evolved endosymbionts also increased the holobionts’ bleaching tolerance. Although lower levels of secreted reactive oxygen species (ROS) accompanied thermal tolerance of the heat-evolved algae, reduced ROS secretion alone did not predict thermal tolerance in symbiosis. The more tolerant symbiosis exhibited additional higher constitutive expression of algal carbon fixation genes and coral heat tolerance genes. These findings demonstrate that coral stock with enhanced climate resilience can be developed through ex hospite laboratory evolution of their microalgal endosymbionts.

“With the increasing urbanization of our coastlines and the increasing need to use polluted sites for recreational, private or commercial purposes, microbial-driven bioremediation will be one of the key tools to tackle this issue. Engagement and involvement of the local and regional stakeholders in the early stages of research will be essential for successful implementation. In addition, as there is an increasing interest in developing probiotics or improving microbial symbiont function of important habitat-forming holobionts, global networks or initiatives, such as the Beneficial Microorganisms for Marine Organisms (BMMO) network, are powerful tools to progress this work, as has been shown for corals.”
