The coral microbiome has attracted increased attention because of its potential roles in host protection against deadly diseases. However, little is known about the role of coral-associated bacteria against the temperature-dependent opportunistic pathogenVibrio coralliilyticus. In this study, we tested whether bacteria associated with the reef-building coralGalaxea fasciculariscould inhibit the growth ofV. coralliilyticus. Twenty-nine cultivable bacteria were successfully isolated from a healthy colony ofG. fasciculariskept in an aquarium. Among the bacterial isolates, threeRuegeriasp. strains inhibited the growth ofV. coralliilyticusP1 as a reference strain andVibriosp. isolated in this study.Ruegeriasp. strains were also detected from otherG. fasciculariscolonies in the aquarium and in previous field studies by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, suggesting thatRuegeriasp. strains are common amongG. fasciculariscolonies. These results illuminate the potential role ofRuegeriasp. in protecting corals against pathogenicVibriospecies.
