Enumerating viruses in coral mucus.
The distribution of viruses inhabiting the coral mucus remains undetermined, as there is no suitable standardized procedure for their separation from this organic matrix, principally owing to its viscosity and autofluorescence. Seven protocols were tested, and the most efficient separations were obtained from a chemical treatment requiring potassium citrate.

متن کاملCoral mucus fuels the sponge loop in warm- and cold-water coral reef ecosystems
Shallow warm-water and deep-sea cold-water corals engineer the coral reef framework and fertilize reef communities by releasing coral mucus, a source of reef dissolved organic matter (DOM). By transforming DOM into particulate detritus, sponges play a key role in transferring the energy and nutrients in DOM to higher trophic levels on Caribbean reefs via the so-called sponge loop. Coral mucus m...
متن کاملCoral Mucus Is a Hot Spot for Viral Infections.
There is increasing suspicion that viral communities play a pivotal role in maintaining coral health, yet their main ecological traits still remain poorly characterized. In this study, we examined the seasonal distribution and reproduction pathways of viruses inhabiting the mucus of the scleractinians Fungia repanda and Acropora formosa collected in Nha Trang Bay (Vietnam) during an 11-month su...
متن کاملCoral mucus bacteria as a source for antibacterial activity
In the oligotrophic marine environment there are ecological niches rich in nutrients and diverse in bacterial populations. One such niche is the coral surface mucus layer. Interactions amongst microorganisms found in coral mucus may be symbiotic or competitive; competing over space and food. It has been hypothesized that the microbial communities found on the coral surface may play a role in th...
