✅ For the first time, it has been observed in situ that "sleep" helps maintain the host-microbe balance in very primitive organisms, a mechanism that could be extremely ancient in animal evolution.

🌙 When the sun sets, corals recover from the stress accumulated during the day, caused by the intense activity of their symbiotic microorganisms. 💤

This project was so fun thanks to @ambonacolta.bsky.social and @fonamental.bsky.social through the lack of sleep during those 6 hr interval dives over 3 days. Massive thank you to everyone involved, including CARMABI marine station in Curaçao, our collaborators, and @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social

Despite a relatively stable microbiome, we reveal that microbial co-occurrence networks shift between daytime carbohydrate catabolism and nighttime methylotrophy, indicating metabolic hand-offs across domains of life within the holobiont. #SymbioSky #ProtistsOnSky

To help reduce the annotation gap of functional assignment in non-model organisms like corals, we supplemented our host gene ontology enrichment terms using protT5 protein language model to predict functions for poorly annotated proteins, adding more context beyond standard homology-based pipelines.

We uncover transcriptional rhythms in the coral, including dawn initiated RNA biosynthesis, midday & dusk regulation of phosphate metabolism, and midnight activation of stress and repair pathways. Breviolum sp. displays tightly regulated cell cycle dynamics and nutrient transport oscillations.
