Genome sequencing of three bacteria associated to black band disease from a Colombian reef-building coral
نویسندگان
چکیده
We announce the draft genome sequence of three Gram-negative bacteria isolated from coral tissues affected with the black band disease (BBD), identified with the NCBI's Assembly Database accession numbers: MBQF, MAYB and MBQE. These genome drafts constitute an useful tool for the characterisation of these bacteria and for the understanding of the relationship between the microbial consortia associated with the disease and the onset and progression of the pathology.

Isolation of an antimicrobial compound produced by bacteria associated with reef-building corals
Bacterial communities associated with healthy corals produce antimicrobial compounds that inhibit the colonization and growth of invasive microbes and potential pathogens. To date, however, bacteria-derived antimicrobial molecules have not been identified in reef-building corals. Here, we report the isolation of an antimicrobial compound produced by Pseudovibrio sp. P12, a common and abundant c...
متن کاملFarming behaviour of reef fishes increases the prevalence of coral disease associated microbes and black band disease.
Microbial community structure on coral reefs is strongly influenced by coral-algae interactions; however, the extent to which this influence is mediated by fishes is unknown. By excluding fleshy macroalgae, cultivating palatable filamentous algae and engaging in frequent aggression to protect resources, territorial damselfish (f. Pomacentridae), such as Stegastes, mediate macro-benthic dynamics...
متن کاملIdentification of differential gene expression in bacteria associated with coral black band disease by using RNA-arbitrarily primed PCR.
RNA-arbitrarily primed PCR techniques have been applied for the first time to identify differential gene expression in black band disease (BBD), a virulent coral infection that affects reef ecosystems worldwide. The gene activity for the BBD mat on infected surfaces of the brain coral Diploria strigosa was compared with that for portions of the BBD mat that were removed from the coral and suspe...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Mutation Rate Response to pH Change in the Coral Reef Pathogen Vibrio shilonii AK1
Recent application of mutation accumulation techniques combined with whole-genome sequencing (MA/WGS) has greatly promoted studies of spontaneous mutation. However, such explorations have rarely been conducted on marine organisms, and it is unclear how marine habitats have influenced genome stability. This report resolves the mutation rate and spectrum of the coral reef pathogen Vibrio shilonii...
متن کاملGeographic variability in the incidence of coral and octocoral diseases in the wider Caribbean
Lack of base-line information on the epizootiology and the spatial and temporal variability of most coral diseaseslsyndromes prevents accurate interpretations of their potential effects on coral reefs. Here. we present quantitative results on the incidence of all diseasedsyndromes found in 19 reef sites from six geographic areas across the wider Caribbean. We compare the pathogenesis of the com...
