与珊瑚有关的细菌在珊瑚健康中发挥着越来越多的作用。我们调查了当地人为影响对吉达附近珊瑚礁上珊瑚微生物群落的影响，吉达是红海中部沙特阿拉伯海岸最大的城市。我们分析了水和珊瑚（Pocillopora verrucosaandAcropora hemprichii）的细菌群落结构，这些细菌群落结构相对不受影响，暴露于沉积物和当地污水，或在城市废水的排放区。珊瑚微生物群落显着不同的影响网站：在两个珊瑚的主要共生类群的丰度下降。相比之下，机会细菌家族，如弧菌科和杜鹃花科，在受影响的网站珊瑚更丰富。总之，微生物群落的反应显示，尽管珊瑚在视觉上看起来很健康，但吉达附近的珊瑚生态系统受到了可测量的人为影响。
Coral-associated bacteria play an increasingly recognized part in coral health. We investigated the effect of local anthropogenic impacts on coral microbial communities on reefs near Jeddah, the largest city on the Saudi Arabian coast of the central Red Sea. We analyzed the bacterial community structure of water and corals (Pocillopora verrucosaandAcropora hemprichii) at sites that were relatively unimpacted, exposed to sedimentation & local sewage, or in the discharge area of municipal wastewaters. Coral microbial communities were significantly different at impacted sites: in both corals the main symbiotic taxon decreased in abundance. In contrast, opportunistic bacterial families, such as e.g. Vibrionaceae and Rhodobacteraceae, were more abundant in corals at impacted sites. In conclusion, microbial community response revealed a measurable footprint of anthropogenic impacts to coral ecosystems close to Jeddah, even though the corals appeared visually healthy.
