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.

Lipid content and composition during the oocyte development of two gorgonian coral species in relation to low temperature preservation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Our previous studies have suggested that chilling sensitivity of coral oocytes may relate to their relatively high lipid intracellular content and lipid composition.

Global Warming Drives Phenological Shifts and Hinders Reproductive Success in a Temperate Octocoral. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolClimate change is advancing spring warming, yet its effects on marine foundation species remain unclear. We combined field observations and ex‐situ experiments to examine how advanced warming affects reproduction in the Mediterranean octocoral Paramuricea clavata.

The Brazilian octocoral Phyllogorgia dilatata as a source of cytotoxic compounds
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 The extensive marine biodiversity has proved to be a promising source of substances with biomedical potential. In this study, the cytotoxicity of the Brazilian octocoral Phyllogorgia dilatata (Gorgoniidae) was evaluated against two tumor cell lines and ...

Cryopreservation of the gorgonian endosymbiont Symbiodinium [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractThe study focused on finding a suitable cryoprotectant (CPA) and an optimum freezing protocol for the cryopreservation of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium, clade G) of Junceella fragilis wherein the success of experiments is crucial to both scientific and ecology studies. A two-step freezing technique was developed. The viability
