New method for counting bacteria associated with coral mucus.
The ability to count bacteria associated with reef-building corals in a rapid, reliable, and cost-effective manner has been hindered by the viscous and highly autofluorescent nature of the coral mucus layer (CML) in which they live. We present a new method that disperses bacterial cells by trypsinization prior to 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining and quantification by epifluorescenc...

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...
متن کاملBacteria associated with mucus and tissues of the coral Oculina patagonica in summer and winter.
The relative abundance of bacteria in the mucus and crushed tissue of the Mediterranean coral Oculina patagonica was determined by analyses of the 16S rRNA genes of isolated colonies and from a 16S rRNA clone library of extracted DNA. By SYBR gold staining, the numbers of bacteria in mucus and tissue samples were 6.2 x 10(7) and 8.3 x 10(8)/cm2 of coral surface, respectively, 99.8% of which fai...
متن کاملA method for counting acid-fast bacteria.
A reliable, convenient, and accurate method for counting ac id-fast hacteria ( AFB) is essential for much work with Mycobacterium leprae. The procedure used , previously in the laboratory (~, 4 ) had two technical difficulties: (a) In order for the drops to spread satisfactorily the microscope slides had to have a uniform wetability of the correct degree; sometimes this requirement was difficul...
