Effects of the soft coral Xenia puertogalerae on the recruitment of scleractinian corals

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1996
Abstract The effects of Xenia puertogalerae on the recruitment of juvenile corals was studied at two levels, involving early and more advanced settlement stages. Inhibition by X. puertogalerae was evident. Terracotta tiles established near soft coral colonies had fewer recruits than those located away from the soft corals.

The effects of predation on the condition of soft corals

Coral Reefs, 2020
Soft corals are well known for producing toxic and unpalatable compounds to deter predation. In spite of these antipredation defences, a suite of specialised predators has coevolved to feed on soft corals. Direct quantification of this predation, however, has been minimal and the influence of predation on soft corals is yet to be investigated.

Microbes in Gorgonian and Soft Corals

2019
Corals provide a structurally and environmentally complex array of habitats, supporting a broad microbial diversity that influences both host physiology and ultimately ecosystem processes. Many studies have indicated that microbial communities occupy a range of niches on corals, from within the surface mucus layer to on and within the coral tissue ...

Studies of Australian soft corals. XXXIV. A new substituted pyrrole from a soft coral-sponge association

Australian Journal of Chemistry, 1984
5-Nonylpyrrole-2-carbaldehyde has been isolated from a soft coral-sponge association. The structure was determined spectroscopically and confirmed by synthesis.

Deoxosarcophine from a soft coral, sp.

Tetrahedron Letters, 1980
Abstract A sample of deoxosarcophine ( 2 ) was converted into sarcophine ( 1 ) by autoxidation. Two reactions are described that will enable the enantiomers of deoxosarcophine to be interrelated.

Steroid metabolism in Antarctic soft corals

Polar Biology, 1997
Whole body tissue preparations of the Antarctic soft corals Alcyonium paessleri and Clavularia frankliniana were incubated in vitro with the radiolabelled precursors 3H-progesterone and 3H-androstenedione to determine steroidogenic capacity. Steroidal metabolites were identified using TLC, derivitization, and recrystallization techniques. The Antarctic

Algal overgrowth of alcyonacean soft corals

Marine Biology, 1987
Colonies of the soft coral Lobophytum pauciflorum (Ehrenberg, 1834) (Coelenterata: Octocorallia: Alcyonacea: Alcyoniidae), some of which were heavily overgrown by the algae Ceranium flaccidum (Kuetzing) Ardissone and Enteromorpha sp., and other minor epizoites, were collected at Taylor Reef (17°50′S; 146°35′E) in the Great Barrier Reef.

New prostanoids from soft coral

Tetrahedron, 1985
Abstract Four new anti-tumor active prostanoids, named claviridenone-a (3), claviridenone-b (4). claviridenone-c (5), and claviridenone-d (6), as well as 20-acetoxy-claviridenone-b (7) and 20-acetoxy-claviridenone-c (8), have been isolated from the Okinawan soft coral (stolonifer) Clavularia viridis Quoy and Gaimard (Stolonifera, Clavulariidae).

Studies of australian soft corals—XXXV

Tetrahedron, 1985
Abstract The in vivo incorporation of mevalonolactone specifically into the terpene portion of a sesquiterpene hydroquinone is reported for the soft coral Sinularia capillosa Eudesma -4 , 7(11)- diene -8β- ol ( 20 ) and the corresponding 8-keto derivative ( 21 ) have been isolated from the soft coral Nephthea species for the first time The ...
