Abstract in brief

This study examines how coral-associated green sulfur bacteria (CAP GSB), which are microorganisms that live inside coral skeletons, adapt to their changing environment by analyzing three different genomes collected from coral skeletons.
The genomic comparison shows that CAP GSB have unique metabolic abilities, such as sulfur and carbon dioxide processing, gas vesicle formation for movement, and oxygen tolerance, which help them survive in the microenvironments of coral skeletons.
The research also highlights the role of mobile genetic elements and horizontal gene transfer in driving genetic diversity and evolution within CAP GSB, influencing their adaptive strategies and population dynamics in coral habitats.
