Toxicity of zinc oxide to scleractinian corals and zooxanthellae: a brief review [PDF]

Química Nova, 2023
In recent years, the safety of sunscreens to coral reefs and the role these products would play in the process of coral bleaching has been a concern. However, the discussion centers almost exclusively on the organic components used as UV filters, with ...

Study on expelled but viable zooxanthellae from giant clams, with an emphasis on their potential as subsequent symbiont sources.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Unlike most bivalve shellfishes, giant clams (tridacnines) harbor symbiotic microalgae (zooxanthellae) in their fleshy bodies. Zooxanthellae are not maternally inherited by tridacnine offspring, hence, the larvae must acquire zooxanthellae from external ...

Dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) as an Indicator of Bleaching Tolerance in Scleractinian Corals

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
Thermal tolerance tests on Acropora millepora, a common Indo-Pacific hard coral, have shown that adult corals can acquire increased thermal tolerance by shuffling existing type C to type D Symbiodinium zooxanthellae when subjected to increased seawater ...

Are Zooxanthellae Really Sensitive? Response of Zooxanthellae Size Exposed to Several Pollutants

ILMU KELAUTAN: Indonesian Journal of Marine Sciences, 2017
Pollution is one of the important issues faced by marine resources including zooxanthellae, which is known to be very sensitive to environmental changes. Some pollutants have been reported to have adverse effects on zooxanthellae, however, their sensitivity in regards to changes on cell size of these algae has not been widely explored.

Skeleton Precedes Polyp: Visualization of Structural Changes During Coral Growth in <i>Montipora capricornis</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using high‐resolution micro‐computed tomography, this study demonstrates that in Montipora capricornis, skeleton–canal network formation precedes polyp budding at colony margins, with a “transit area” (volumes ~1 mm3, skeleton‐to‐void ratio 20%–35%) in tubular canals serving as a pathway for polyp migration to new calices.

Individual and Interactive Effects of Ocean Warming and Acidification on Adult Favites colemani

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Tropical coral reefs are threatened by local-scale stressors that are exacerbated by global ocean warming and acidification from the post-industrial increase of atmospheric CO2 levels.

A Functional Genomics View of Gibberellin Metabolism in the Cnidarian Symbiont Breviolum minutum

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Dinoflagellate inhabitants of the reef-building corals exchange nutrients and signals with host cells, which often benefit the growth of both partners. Phytohormones serve as central hubs for signal integration between symbiotic microbes and their hosts,

Benthic Cyanobacterial Diversity and Antagonistic Interactions in Abrolhos Bank: Allelopathy, Susceptibility to Herbivory, and Toxicity

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Benthic cyanobacterial mats (BCMs) are conspicuous components of coral reef communities, where they play key ecological roles as primary producers among others.

The abundance of zooxanthellae on massive and branching coral reefs at Bama Beach, Baluran National Park, Situbondo, East Java

Depik Jurnal
Zooxanthellae are single-celled microalgae that live symbiotically in coral tissue. The porpose of this study was to determine the abundance of zooxanthellae in massive and branching corals. The research method used was descriptive analysis. The sampling
