DNA barcoding reveals the coral “laboratory-rat”, Stylophora pistillata encompasses multiple identities
Stylophora pistillata is a widely used coral "lab-rat" species with highly variable morphology and a broad biogeographic range (Red Sea to western central Pacific). Here we show, by analysing Cytochorme Oxidase I sequences, from 241 samples across this range, that this taxon in fact comprises four deeply divergent clades corresponding to the Pacific-Western Australia, Chagos-Madagascar-South Af...
متن کاملIdentification of MicroRNAs in the Coral Stylophora pistillata
Coral reefs are major contributors to marine biodiversity. However, they are in rapid decline due to global environmental changes such as rising sea surface temperatures, ocean acidification, and pollution. Genomic and transcriptomic analyses have broadened our understanding of coral biology, but a study of the microRNA (miRNA) repertoire of corals is missing. miRNAs constitute a class of small...
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 ...
