Influence of Habitat Alteration on the Molecular Profile of Membrane Lipids of the Coral Junceella fragilis [PDF]
BiologyThe cell membrane serves as the first line of defense against adverse environmental factors and is first to adapt to changing conditions. Cell membranes in both coral and its symbionts, which use different membrane adaptation strategies, have to ...

Enzyme Inhibitors from Gorgonians and Soft Corals [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2023 For decades, gorgonians and soft corals have been considered promising sources of bioactive compounds, attracting the interest of scientists from different fields. As the most abundant bioactive compounds within these organisms, terpenoids, steroids, and

Efficacy of the 28S rDNA barcode in differentiating Caribbean octocorals [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe ecological landscape of Caribbean reefs is rapidly changing as octocorals fill the void left by declining scleractinian populations. Effective molecular barcodes are necessary to accurately identify these octocorals and monitor this shifting ...

Alkaloids and Sesquiterpenes from the South China Sea Gorgonian Echinogorgia pseudossapo
Marine Drugs, 2011 Five zoanthoxanthin alkaloids (1–5) and four sesquiterpenes (6–9) were isolated from the South China Sea gorgonian Echinogorgia pseudossapo. Their structures were determined on the bases of extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR data ...

Microbial Regulation in Gorgonian Corals
Marine Drugs, 2012 Gorgonian corals possess many novel natural products that could potentially mediate coral-bacterial interactions. Since many bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) signals to facilitate colonization of host organisms, regulation of prokaryotic cell-to-cell ...

Pinnisterols A–C, New 9,11-Secosterols from a Gorgonian Pinnigorgia sp.
Marine Drugs, 2016 Three new 9,11-secosterols, pinnisterols A–C (1–3), were isolated from a gorgonian coral Pinnigorgia sp., collected off the waters of Taiwan. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods. The new sterols 1 and 3

Biochemical warfare on the reef: the role of glutathione transferases in consumer tolerance of dietary prostaglandins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Despite the profound variation among marine consumers in tolerance for allelochemically-rich foods, few studies have examined the biochemical adaptations underlying diet choice. Here we examine the role of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in

Symbiodinium photosynthesis in Caribbean octocorals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Symbioses with the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium form the foundation of tropical coral reef communities. Symbiodinium photosynthesis fuels the growth of an array of marine invertebrates, including cnidarians such as scleractinian corals and octocorals (e.g.

Microbiomes of Caribbean Octocorals Vary Over Time but Are Resistant to Environmental Change
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The bacterial microbiome is an essential component of many corals, although knowledge of the microbiomes in scleractinian corals far exceeds that for octocorals.
