Microbiota and metabolic disturbance caused by sulfamethoxazole exposure in the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis.
The overuse of antibiotics in aquaculture causes severe contamination in the coral reef environments, leading to the degradation of this vulnerable ecosystem. In the present study, 16S rRNA, transcriptomic and physiological approaches were employed to reveal the impacts of sulfamethoxazole (SMX), one of the common and...
