 The endozocomonodassi family of bacteria is present in three coral genera, persilipora, porites, and millipora, and has been identified as a key component of coral health and resilience. Each coral genus hosts its own unique species of endozocomonodassi which vary in their geographical distribution and metabolic capabilities. In particular, one species of endozocomonodassi is found in persilipora and is capable of producing amino acids and vitamins not produced by the coral itself. This suggests that this species may play a role in providing essential nutrients for the coral's growth and development. Additionally, the presence of these bacteria is linked to the coral's ability to resist environmental stresses such as temperature fluctuations and bleaching events.
