نَشَرَتْ جَامِعَةُ الْمَلِكِ عَبْدِ اللهِ لِلْعُلُومِ وَالتِّقْنِيَّةِ فِي السُّعُودِيَّةِ دِرَاسَةً جَدِيدَةً عَنِ الْمَرْجَانِ فِي الْبَحْرِ الْأَحْمَرِ.
اِسْتَخْدَمَ الْبَاحِثُونَ بَكْتِيرْيَا نَافِعَةً مِنْ مَرْجَانٍ سَلِيمٍ. وَاسْتَخْدَمُوا أَيْضًا بَكْتِيرْيَا غَيْرَ حَيَّةٍ.
خِلَالَ مَوْجَةِ حَرٍّ بَحْرِيَّةٍ فِي صَيْفِ ٢٠٢٢، وَضَعَ الْفَرِيقُ هَذِهِ الْعِلَاجَاتِ عَلَى مَرْجَانٍ تَأَثَّرَ بِالْحَرَارَةِ.
وَاسْتَمَرَّتِ التَّجْرِبَةُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا. بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، سَاعَدَ عِلَاجٌ حَيٌّ وَعِلَاجٌ غَيْرُ حَيٍّ عَلَى تَحْسِينِ صِحَّةِ الْمَرْجَانِ. وَحَافَظَا عَلَى قُدْرَةِ الطَّحَالِبِ دَاخِلَهُ عَلَى اسْتِخْدَامِ الضَّوْءِ لِإِنْتَاجِ الطَّاقَةِ. وَقَالَ الْبَاحِثُونَ إِنَّ الْمَزِيدَ مِنَ الدِّرَاسَاتِ لَازِمٌ قَبْلَ اسْتِخْدَامِ هَذِهِ الطَّرِيقَةِ بِشَكْلٍ وَاسِعٍ.

Microbial Treatments Improve Coral Health in the Red Sea
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia published a new study about coral in the Red Sea.
The researchers used beneficial bacteria from healthy coral. They also used inactive bacteria.
During a marine heatwave in the summer of 2022, the team put these treatments on coral affected by heat.
The experiment lasted fifteen days. After that, one live treatment and one inactive treatment helped improve coral health. They maintained the ability of algae inside it to use light to produce energy. The researchers said that more studies are needed before this method is used widely.
