The roles of endolithic fungi in bioerosion and disease in marine ecosystems. I. General concepts
Mycology, 2017 Endolithic true fungi and fungus-like microorganisms penetrate calcareous substrates formed by living organisms, cause significant bioerosion and are involved in diseases of many host animals in marine ecosystems.

Engineering Strategies to Decode and Enhance the Genomes of Coral Symbionts
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Elevated sea surface temperatures from a severe and prolonged El Niño event (2014–2016) fueled by climate change have resulted in mass coral bleaching (loss of dinoflagellate photosymbionts, Symbiodinium spp., from coral tissues) and subsequent coral ...

Cnidarian Interaction with Microbial Communities: From Aid to Animal’s Health to Rejection Responses
Marine Drugs, 2018 The phylum Cnidaria is an ancient branch in the tree of metazoans. Several species exert a remarkable longevity, suggesting the existence of a developed and consistent defense mechanism of the innate immunity capable to overcome the potential repeated ...

Effect of Ammonium Enrichment on Animal and Algal Biomass of the Coral Pocillopora damicornis [PDF]
, 1994 Algal and animal biomass parameters of colonies of the Pacific coral Pocillopora damicornis (Linnaeus) were measured as a function of time of exposure to elevated concentrations of seawater ammonium (20 and 50 uM [(NH4)2S04]) ranging from 2 to 8 weeks.

Energy reserves and metabolism as indicators of coral recovery from bleaching [PDF]
, 2007 With reduced zooxanthellae, chlorophyll a (Chl a), or both, concentrations, bleached corals rely on some combination of energy reserves (i.e., lipid, carbohydrate, protein) and heterotrophy to survive and recover.

, 1995 During experimental Light-dark cycles, O-2 in the tissue of the colonial scleractinian corals Favia sp. and Acropora sp. reached >250% of air saturation after a few minutes in Light. Immediately after darkening, O-2 was depleted rapidly, and within 5 min
