Why some bacteria are good: the example of corals
Within the project CANCOR, we show that corals rely on nitrogen provided by diazotrophic bacteria when other sources are scarce.

We compiled a large dataset on C and N fluxes in a coral reef exposed to seasonality, and show that diazotrophs are key to ecosystem functioning.
