Carbonic anhydrase in the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata: characterization, localization, and role in biomineralization.
Carbonic anhydrases (CA) play an important role in biomineralization from invertebrates to vertebrates. Previous experiments have investigated the role of CA in coral calcification, mainly by pharmacological approaches. This study reports the molecular cloning, sequencing, and immunolocalization of a CA isolated from the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata, named STPCA. Results show that ...
متن کاملNitrate uptake in the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata
We assessed the uptake rates of nitrate by the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata by following 15N from seawater into the coral tissue. Two sets of corals were first prepared, with ‘‘nitrate-enriched’’ corals grown in 5 mmol L21 NO and control corals grown in #1 mmol L21 NO . Uptake rates at 0.3 and 3 mmol L21 [15N]NO 2 2 2 3 3 3 were then measured. Most of the %15N enrichment occurred i...
متن کاملHigh phosphate uptake requirements of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata.
Several untested aspects of the regulation of inorganic nutrient uptake were examined using nutrient depletion experiments with the symbiotic coral Stylophora pistillata. The total inhibition of phosphate uptake in artificial seawater lacking sodium indicates the involvement of a sodium/phosphate symporter for the uptake of phosphate across host membranes. Addition of ammonium or nitrate (up to...
متن کاملTranscriptome Analysis of the Scleractinian Coral Stylophora pistillata
The principal architects of coral reefs are the scleractinian corals; these species are divided in two major clades referred to as "robust" and "complex" corals. Although the molecular diversity of the "complex" clade has received considerable attention, with several expressed sequence tag (EST) libraries and a complete genome sequence having been constructed, the "robust" corals have received ...
متن کاملMolecular assessment of the effect of light and heterotrophy in the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata.
Corals acquire nutrients via the transfer of photosynthates by their endosymbionts (autotrophy), or via zooplankton predation by the animal (heterotrophy). During stress events, corals lose their endosymbionts, and undergo starvation, unless they increase their heterotrophic capacities. Molecular mechanisms by which heterotrophy sustains metabolism in stressed corals remain elusive. Here for th...
