Spatio-temporal transmission patterns of black-band disease in a coral community. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND: Transmission mechanisms of black-band disease (BBD) in coral reefs are poorly understood, although this disease is considered to be one of the most widespread and destructive coral infectious diseases. The major objective of this study was to

Genetic, morphological and growth characterisation of a new Roseofilum strain (Oscillatoriales, Cyanobacteria) associated with coral black band disease [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Black band disease (BBD) is a common disease of reef-building corals with a worldwide distribution that causes tissue loss at a rate of up to 3 cm/day. Critical for a mechanistic understanding of the disease’s aetiology is the cultivation of its proposed

First record of black band disease in the Hawaiian archipelago: response, outbreak status, virulence, and a method of treatment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
A high number of coral colonies, Montipora spp., with progressive tissue loss were reported from the north shore of Kaua'i by a member of the Eyes of the Reef volunteer reporting network. The disease has a distinct lesion (semi-circular pattern of tissue

Reflections: Spectral Investigation of Black Band Disease in Hawaiian Corals

Remote Sensing
Coral reefs are essential to the cultural, ecological, and economic well-being of Hawai‘i’s communities, yet they face increasing threats from environmental changes and localized stressors, including coral disease. Detecting coral disease often relies on

Unraveling the Physiological Roles of the Cyanobacterium Geitlerinema sp. BBD and Other Black Band Disease Community Members through Genomic Analysis of a Mixed Culture. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Black band disease (BBD) is a cyanobacterial-dominated polymicrobial mat that propagates on and migrates across coral surfaces, necrotizing coral tissue. Culture-based laboratory studies have investigated cyanobacteria and heterotrophic bacteria isolated

Comparative Metagenomics of the Polymicrobial Black Band Disease of Corals. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2017
Black Band Disease (BBD), the destructive microbial consortium dominated by the cyanobacterium Roseofilum reptotaenium, affects corals worldwide. While the taxonomic composition of BBD consortia has been well-characterized, substantially less is known about its functional repertoire. We sequenced the metagenomes of Caribbean and Pacific black band mats

The Black Band Disease of Atlantic Reef Corals. [PDF]

Marine Ecology, 1983
Abstract.Some reef building corals in the western Atlantic are susceptible to an infection known as black band disease that is caused by the cyanophyte (cyanobacterium)Phormidium corallyticumRützler& Santavy. Field observations on the barrier reef of Belize and on reefs of the Bermuda platform indicate the disease is fairly common in susceptible ...

Biogeochemical conditions determine virulence of black band disease in corals. [PDF]

ISME J, 2012
Abstract The microenvironmental dynamics of the microbial mat of black band disease (BBD) and its less virulent precursor, cyanobacterial patch (CP), were extensively profiled using microsensors under different light intensities with respect to O2, pH and H2S.

Sulfide, microcystin, and the etiology of black band disease. [PDF]

Dis Aquat Organ, 2009
Black band disease (BBD) consists of a cyanobacterial-dominated, sulfide-rich microbial mat that migrates across coral colonies, degrading coral tissue. The mat contains diverse bacteria that include photoautotrophs (cyanobacteria), sulfate-reducers, sulfide-oxidizers, and organoheterotrophs.
