Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of microbial populations by coral surface mucus and mucus-associated bacteria
TL;DR: Coral mucus inhibited antibiotic activity and pigment production in a poten- tially invasive bacterium, illustrating that coral mucus may inactivate mechanisms used for bacterial niche establishment and suggesting a microbial contribution to the antibacterial activity described for coral mucUS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caribbean corals in crisis: record thermal stress, bleaching, and mortality in 2005.

TL;DR: Comparison of satellite data against field surveys demonstrated a significant predictive relationship between accumulated heat stress (measured using NOAA Coral Reef Watch's Degree Heating Weeks) and bleaching intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The etiology of white pox, a lethal disease of the Caribbean elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata.
Kathryn L. Patterson,James Porter,Kim B. Ritchie,Shawn W. Polson,Erich Mueller,Esther C. Peters,Deborah L. Santavy,Garriet W. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: This report identifies a common fecal enterobacterium, Serratia marcescens, as the causal agent of white pox, the first time, to the authors' knowledge, that a bacterial species associated with the human gut has been shown to be a marine invertebrate pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
High frequency of horizontal gene transfer in the oceans.
Lauren D. McDaniel,Elizabeth Young,Jennifer A. Delaney,Fabian Ruhnau,Kim B. Ritchie,John H. Paul +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the widespread capability of marine bacteria to participate in horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in coastal and oceanic environments may be the result of gene transfer agents (GTAs), viral-like particles produced by α-Proteobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of TLC1 (Which Encodes the RNA Subunit of Telomerase), TEL1, and MEC1 in Regulating Telomere Length in the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: It is found that strains with both tel1 andtlc1 mutations have a delayed loss of cell viability compared to strains with the single tlc1 mutation, arguing that the role of Tel1p in telomere maintenance is not solely a direct activation of telomerase.
