Physicochemical Properties of Photoconvertible Fluorescent Protein from Montastraea cavernosa
Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2021Among 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 ...

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.

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 ...

Nitrogen fixation by symbiotic cyanobacteria provides a source of nitrogen for the scleractinian coral Montastraea cavernosa [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2007 Colonies of the Caribbean coral Montastraea cavernosa (Linnaeus) that harbor endosymbiotic cyanobacteria can fix nitrogen, whereas conspecifics without these symbionts cannot. The pattern of nitrogen fixation is diurnal and maximum rates occur in the early morning and evening. An analysis of delta N-15 stable isotope data showed that the zooxanthellae,

Molecular Basis and Evolutionary Origins of Color Diversity in Great Star Coral Montastraea cavernosa (Scleractinia: Faviida) [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2003 Natural pigments are normally products of complex biosynthesis pathways where many different enzymes are involved. Corals and related organisms of class Anthozoa represent the only known exception: in these organisms, each of the host-tissue colors is essentially determined by a sequence of a single protein, homologous to the green fluorescent protein (

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,

Aposematic coloration does not deter corallivory by fish on the coral Montastraea cavernosa
Coral Reefs, 2016Predation 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

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 ...

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 ...
