  abstract = 	{The pseudocolonial coral Lophelia pertusa (Scleractinia, Caryophylliidae) is a eury{\textlnot}ba{\textlnot}thic, steno{\textlnot}ther{\textlnot}mal cosmopolitan cold-water species. It occurs in two colour vari{\textlnot}eties, white and red. L. pertusa builds vast cold-water coral reefs along the con{\textlnot}tinental margins, which are among the most diverse deep-sea ecosystems. Micro{\textlnot}biology of L. pertusa has been in scientific focus for only a few years. The question whether the coral holds a host-specific bac{\textlnot}te{\textlnot}rial commu{\textlnot}nity is not finally answered. Possible implications of the two colour varieties for microbial colonisation must be taken into account. Bio imaging can reveal the in-situ location of bacterial groups on and possible interactions with the coral. The pre{\textlnot}sent study aimed at investigating these aspects, drawing a more compre{\textlnot}hen{\textlnot}sive pic{\textlnot}ture of commu{\textlnot}nity struc{\textlnot}ture, taxo{\textlnot}no{\textlnot}my, and in-situ location of L. pertusa-hosted microbes.},
