Populations of the most common Caribbean reef-building coral, Acropora palmata, are being decimated by white pox disease, with losses of living cover in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) averaging 88%. Elkhorn coral plays a significant role in the structural and functional ...
However, further examination of the role of N2-fixation in H2 production using N2-fixation suppression experi- ments indicated that H2-production is independent of N2-fixation and most likely fermentative due to the simultaneous production of organic acids (expected fermentation products) under dark ...
Halomonas meridiana strain R1t3 was isolated from the surface mucus layer of the scleractinian coral Acropora palmata in 2005 from the Florida Keys. This strain was chosen for genome sequencing to provide insight into the role of commensal heterotrophic bacteria in the coral holobiont. The draft ...
This strain was chosen for genome sequencing to provide insight into the role of commensal heterotrophic bacteria in the coral holobiont. The draft genome consists of 290 scaffolds, totaling 3.5 Mbp in length and contains 3397 protein-coding genes....
Restoring herbivore guilds and geo-ecological functional groups played a crucial role in restoring vital ecological processes promoting reef ecosystem resilience. Recommendations include integrating fish assemblage recovery into coral restoration strategies, establishing natural coral nursery plots for future coral...
