<p><strong>A Single-Celled Microbe is Helping Corals Survive Climate Change, Study Finds</strong></p>
<p><em>New research highlights the role of microorganisms in protecting corals from heat-stress</em></p>
<p>Researchers discovered for the first time a single-celled microbe that can help corals survive ocean-warming events like bleaching. The new study, led by scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science and the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE: CSIC-UPF) in Barcelona, offers new information on the role microbes might play in helping corals withstand end-of-century warming projections.</p>
