The functional role of coral-associated bacteria and their contribution to coral health is still largely unknown. The first necessary step to address this gap in the knowledge is based on characterization of the microbial assemblage of the coral and the species-specific, temporal and spatial variation in its diversity. Branched corals (e.g., genus Pocillopora), are the main builders of coral reefs worldwide. This study evaluated the bacteria associated with the mucus and tissues of Pocillopora damicornis and Pocillopora verrucosa, as well as that of the seawater and surrounding sediments, in 6 sites of the Mexican Central Pacific during summer and winter seasons. The molecular techniques DGGE and RFLP were used with the 16S rDNA to assess t...
