Characterization of black band disease in Red Sea stony corals
Environmental Microbiology, 2007Summary Microbial communities associated with black band disease (BBD) in massive stony corals from the Northern Red Sea (Eilat) were examined for the first time using molecular tools and microscopy. A high microbial diversity was revealed in the affected tissue in comparison with the healthy area of the same ...

Black Band disease-related (BBD) cyanobacterium from Okinawan corals
Journal of Applied Phycology, 2018The number of reports of coral disease is increasing worldwide. Among coral diseases, BBD was discovered first, along Caribbean coastlines in 1973. The main symptom of BBD is a black mat on the surface of the infected coral tissue. This black mat is a microbial consortium in which a dominant filamentous cyanobacterium proliferates.

Nutrient enrichment enhances black band disease progression in corals
Coral Reefs, 2006Infectious diseases are recognized as significant contributors to the dramatic loss of corals observed worldwide. However, the causes of increased coral disease prevalence and severity are not well understood. One potential factor is elevated nutrient concentration related to localized anthropogenic activities such as inadequate waste water treatment ...

Cyanobacterial mats as benthic reservoirs and vectors for coral black band disease pathogens
Ecological Applications, 2022AbstractThe concurrent rise in the prevalence of conspicuous benthic cyanobacterial mats and the incidence of coral diseases independently mark major axes of degradation of coral reefs globally. Recent advances have uncovered the potential for the existence of interactions between the expanding cover of cyanobacterial mats and coral disease, especially

Microcystin production and ecological physiology of Caribbean black band disease cyanobacteria
Environmental Microbiology, 2010Summary Molecular studies of black band disease (BBD), a coral disease found on tropical and subtropical reefs worldwide, have shown that one 16S rRNA gene sequence is ubiquitous. This sequence has been reported to be a member of the cyanobacterial genus Oscillatoria .

Black-band disease dynamics: Prevalence, incidence, and acclimatization to light
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2011Abstract Black-band disease (BBD) is a temperature- and light-dependent syndrome typically found on shallow-dwelling corals. The bacterial consortium that creates BBD contains a photosynthetic cyanobacterium, which is particularly sensitive to light.

The Possible Role of Cyanobacterial Filaments in Coral Black Band Disease Pathology
Microbial Ecology, 2013Black band disease (BBD), characterized by a black mat or line that migrates across a coral colony leaving behind it a bare skeleton, is a persistent disease affecting massive corals worldwide. Previous microscopic and molecular examination of this disease in faviid corals from the Gulf of Eilat revealed a number of possible pathogens with the most ...

Black band disease (BBD) was the first coral disease to be reported in the literature (Antonius 1973). It was first noted on reefs of Belize in the western Caribbean, and was described as a striking microbial assemblage that formed a band which moved across apparently healthy coral colonies, actively destroying coral tissue and leaving behind the bare ...

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2018
Abstract Impacts from human-induced direct-use perturbations on coral colonies are on the rise. Despite significant incidences of coral disease on a global-wide basis, too few studies have verified the sources of diseases affecting coral colonies. To determine if branching coral communities are prone to infection with black band disease, brown band ...
