Interaction of Thalassia testudinum Metabolites with Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Its Effects on Benzo(a)pyrene-Induced Mutagenicity [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2020
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effects of Thalassia testudinum hydroethanolic extract, its polyphenolic fraction and thalassiolin B on the activity of phase I metabolizing enzymes as well as their antimutagenic effects ...

Microbiomes of Thalassia testudinum throughout the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico are influenced by site and region while maintaining a core microbiome [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Plant microbiomes are known to serve several important functions for their host, and it is therefore important to understand their composition as well as the factors that may influence these microbial communities.

Polyphenolic Fraction Obtained From Thalassia testudinum Marine Plant and Thalassiolin B Exert Cytotoxic Effects in Colorectal Cancer Cells and Arrest Tumor Progression in a Xenograft Mouse Model

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Marine plants are important sources of pharmacologically active metabolites. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the cytotoxic and antitumor activity of a polyphenolic fraction obtained from Thalassia testudinum marine plant and thalassiolin B in

The Microbial Communities of Leaves and Roots Associated with Turtle Grass (Thalassia testudinum) and Manatee Grass (Syringodium filliforme) are Distinct from Seawater and Sediment Communities, but Are Similar between Species and Sampling Sites [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2018
Seagrasses are vital members of coastal systems, which provide several important ecosystem services such as improvement of water quality, shoreline protection, and serving as shelter, food, and nursery to many species, including economically important ...

Range-wide population genetic structure of the Caribbean marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2018
AbstractMany marine species have widespread geographic ranges derived from their evolutionary and ecological history particularly their modes of dispersal. Seagrass (marine angiosperm) species have ranges that are unusually widespread, which is not unexpected following recent reviews of reproductive strategies demonstrating the potential for long ...

Leaf Spectral Reflectance Shows Thalassia testudinum Seedlings More Sensitive to Hypersalinity than Hyposalinity [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Thalassia testudinum (turtle grass) is the dominant and climax-successional seagrass species in the subtropical/tropical Atlantic and Caribbean region. Two die-offs of T.

Construction and characterization of an infectious cDNA clone of turtle grass virus X from a naturally infected Thalassia testudinum plant [PDF]

mBio
Seagrasses are a polyphyletic group of marine flowering plants that play crucial roles in nearshore ecology, yet their interactions with viruses remain largely unexplored.

Direct contribution of the seagrass Thalassia testudinum to lime mud production. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2014
Seagrass beds contribute to oceanic carbonate lime mud production by providing a habitat for a wide variety of calcifying organisms and acting as efficient sediment traps. Here we provide evidence for the direct implication of Thalassia testudinum in the precipitation of aragonite needles.

Nutrient Enrichment Increases Blue Carbon Potential of Subtropical Seagrass Beds. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Seagrass beds have tremendous potential to mitigate climate change because their high rates of primary production bury large amounts of carbon. They are also globally threatened by nutrient pollution, and thus, realizing this potential requires understanding how this stressor affects carbon burial.

Temperature Drives Seagrass Recovery Across the Western North Atlantic. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
In this study, we used field experiments across 23° of latitude (from Bermuda to Panama) to investigate how important climate change drivers impact the recovery rates of turtlegrass, a widespread marine plant. We found that both global (temperature) and local (grazing and nutrients) drivers affect seagrass recovery rates and thus resilience.
