This thesis focuses on understanding a "bleaching" disease. which affects the temperate-water red macroalga Delisea pulchra, particularly in summer when sea water temperatme.., are elevated. The bleaching disease could be reproduced in vitro by a combination of increased temperature and the presence of bacterial pathogens. which are phylogenetically affiliated with the genera Microbulhljer.

  • Bacterial Community Dynamics Are Linked to Patterns of Coral Heat Tolerance
    ARTICLE Received 28 Aug 2016 | Accepted 2 Dec 2016 | Published 10 Feb 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14213 OPEN Bacterial community dynamics are linked to patterns of coral heat tolerance Maren Ziegler1, Francois O. Seneca2, Lauren K. Yum1, Stephen R. Palumbi2 & Christian R. Voolstra1 Ocean warming threatens corals and the coral reef ecosystem. Nevertheless, corals can be adapted to their thermal environment and inherit heat tolerance across generations. In addition, the diverse microbes that associate with corals have the capacity for more rapid change, potentially aiding the adaptation of long-lived corals. Here, we show that the microbiome of reef corals is different across thermally variable habitats and changes over time when corals are reciprocally transplanted. Exposing these corals to thermal bleaching conditions changes the microbiome for heat-sensitive corals, but not for heat-tolerant corals growing in habitats with natural high heat extremes. Importantly, particular bacterial taxa predict the coral host response in a short-term heat stress experiment. Such associations could result from parallel responses of the coral and the microbial community to living at high natural temperatures. A competing hypothesis is that the microbial community and coral heat tolerance are causally linked. 1 Red Sea Research Center, Division of Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering (BESE), King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Building 2, Thuwal 23955-6900, Saudi Arabia. 2 Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, 120 Ocean View Blvd, Pacific Grove, California 93950, USA.

  • Corals at the Extreme: Partitioning the Response of Coral Holobionts to Marginal Habitats
    Corals at the extreme: partitioning the response of coral holobionts to marginal habitats Bethan Greenwood A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Marine Biology School of Life Sciences University of Essex October 2020 Abstract While coral reefs worldwide are threatened by unprecedented environmental change, some reef-building corals can already be found living under extreme conditions within marginal habitats. Learning how corals can survive high temperature fluctuations and multiple other stressors experienced in mangroves, relative to typical reefs, is a key step in understanding the adaptive capacity of reef-building corals to future environmental change. The role of the coral host, symbiotic algae, and diverse microbiota, and how these components of the holobiont interact to define the adaptive capacity of reef-building corals requires further exploration. In this thesis, the thermal tolerance limits of conspecific corals from a mangrove versus a reef habitat were tested in a 20-day heat-ramping experiment. Heating corals beyond their regional thermal maxima caused severe decreases in productivity, irrespective of which habitat the coral came from, but corals from the mangrove habitat suffered less thermally induced bleaching. Amplicon sequencing coral holobionts from reef and mangrove habitats in Indonesia and the Seychelles revealed significant habitat-dependent differences in coral microbiome compositions. A potentially novel coral-bacteria symbiosis between a mangrove-dwelling merulinid coral and an unclassified spirochaete, which accounted for 47% of the coral’s bacterial community, was also uncovered, though its role in the holobiont remains unknown. Reciprocal translocations of corals between reef and mangrove habitats resulted in rapid reorganisation of coral-associated bacterial communities.

Abbreviations: CFB: Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteriodes HeLa: cervical cancer HT-29: colon cancer KB: oral cancer MCF-7: breast adenocarcinoma PCR: polymerase chain reaction SK: skim milk medium SRB: sulphorodamine B Eighty-four marine gliding bacteria were isolated from thailandica, Aureispira marina and Aureispira maritima specimens collected in the Gulf of Thailand and the respectively. The isolates were cultivated in four Andaman Sea. All exhibited gliding motility and swarm different cultivation media (Vy/2, RL 1, CY and SK) colonies on cultivation plates and they were purified by and the crude extracts were submitted to screen subculturing and micromanipulator techniques.
