Physicochemical Properties of Photoconvertible Fluorescent Protein from Montastraea cavernosa

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2021
Among the wide variety of currently known fluorescent probes, photoconvertible fluorescent proteins (PCFPs), which are capable to irreversibly change their maximum of fluorescence emission under specific light irradiation, are of special interest. In this work, we have studied the basic physicochemical properties of PCFP isolated from Montastraea ...

Diazotrophic diversity in the Caribbean coral, Montastraea cavernosa

Archives of Microbiology, 2013
Previous research on the Caribbean coral Montastraea cavernosa reported the presence of cyanobacterial endosymbionts and nitrogen fixation in orange, but not brown, colonies. We compared the diversity of nifH gene sequences between these two color morphs at three locations in the Caribbean and found that the nifH sequences recovered from M.

Cellular reactions to sedimentation and temperature stress in the Caribbean coral Montastraea cavernosa

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2007
We present evidence of cellular responses to increased sedimentation and temperature in Montastraea cavernosa collected off Broward County, Florida. We sampled corals from six different sites approximately, 500-1000 m off shore, 10-15m depth. Six samples were collected from four sites adjacent to areas of underwater marine dredging (project sites ...

Symbiont shuffling induces differential DNA methylation responses to thermal stress in the coral Montastraea cavernosa

Molecular Ecology, 2021
AbstractAlgal symbiont shuffling in favour of more thermotolerant species has been shown to enhance coral resistance to heat‐stress. Yet, the mechanistic underpinnings and long‐term implications of these changes are poorly understood. This work studied the modifications in coral DNA methylation, an epigenetic mechanism involved in coral acclimatization,

Differential protein abundance associated with delayed regeneration of the scleractinian coral Montastraea cavernosa

Coral Reefs, 2020
Scleractinian corals provide the three-dimensional structure and function of coral reefs around the globe. These sessile animals are subject to physical injuries from a variety of sources and can completely regenerate damaged tissue as a survival mechanism; however, tissue regeneration rates vary widely within and across taxa.

Aposematic coloration does not deter corallivory by fish on the coral Montastraea cavernosa

Coral Reefs, 2016
Predation on corals by visual predators is a significant source of partial or total mortality on coral reefs, and corals have evolved strategies, including chemical defenses, to deter predation. One mechanism that organisms use to communicate the presence of chemical defenses is aposematic coloration, or the display of bright coloration as a warning to

Mercury in the Southwestern Atlantic reef-building coral Montastraea cavernosa (Cnidaria, Scleractinia)

Chemosphere
Coastal ecosystems, such as coral reefs, are particularly vulnerable to mercury contamination due to direct contact with terrestrial sources. Here, we evaluated, for the first time, the concentration of mercury in coral reefs in the Southwestern Atlantic using the amphi-atlantic scleractinian coral Montastraea cavernosa.

Conserved Pigment Profiles in Phylogenetically Diverse Symbiotic Bacteria Associated with the Corals Montastraea cavernosa and Mussismilia braziliensis

Microbial Ecology, 2020
Pigmented bacterial symbionts play major roles in the health of coral holobionts. However, there is scarce knowledge on the diversity of these microbes for several coral species. To gain further insights into holobiont health, pigmented bacterial isolates of Fabibacter pacificus (Bacteroidetes; n = 4), Paracoccus marcusii (Alphaproteobacteria; n = 1 ...

Population structure and connectivity in the Atlantic scleractinian coral Montastraea cavernosa (Linnaeus, 1767)

Marine Ecology, 2011
AbstractCoral reefs are increasingly threatened worldwide by a variety of biological and physical factors, including disease, bleaching and ocean acidification. Understanding levels of connectivity among widespread populations can assist in conservation efforts and the design of marine protected areas, as larval dispersal scales affect population ...
