Abstract: Marine multicellular organisms in composition with their associated microbiota – representing metaorganisms – are confronted with constantly changing environmental conditions. In 2110, the seawater temperature is predicted to be increased by approximately 5 °C, and the atmospheric carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) is expected to reach approximately 1,000 ppm. In order to assess the response of marine metaorganisms to global changes, e.g. by effects on host-microbe interactions, we evaluated the response of epibacterial communities ass...
