Abstract: It has long been hypothesized that Western Australian coral reefs are genetically connected to those in Indonesia via long-distance dispersal, and that this connection may influence the timing of annual mass coral spawning on Western… read more here.

DOI: 10.1099/ijsem.0.005745
Abstract: A non-motile, rod-shaped, pink-pigmented bacterium NAR14T was isolated from coral Acropora digitifera from Daya Bay, Shenzhen, PR China. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. NAR14T grew with 0-6 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2-4 %), at 10-41 °C… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abq0304
Abstract: The metabolic capabilities of animals have been derived from well-studied model organisms and are generally considered to be well understood. In animals, cysteine is an important amino acid thought to be exclusively synthesized through the… read more here.

DOI: 10.2108/zs220016
Abstract: Synchronous spawning is a striking feature of coral. Although it is important for reproductive success, corals reallocate energy for reproduction to growth when they are damaged by external stimuli. To assess the transcriptome before and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2023.1171495
Abstract: The reef-building coral Acropora is a broadcast spawning hermaphrodite including more than 110 species in the Indo-Pacific. In addition, many sympatric species show synchronous spawning. The released gametes need to mate with conspecifics in the… read more here.
