The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In …
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2. 1.1) are widespread enzymes in all organisms, catalyzing CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons. Their inhibition is exploited clinically …
Background Corals are capable of launching diverse immune defenses at the site of direct contact with pathogens, but the molecular mechanisms of this activity and the colony-wide …

In spite of more than one century and half of studies, mechanisms of coral biomineralization, leading to coral growth and reef formation, still remain poorly known, although major global …
In this review we discuss the present knowledge on the biological and environmental control of biomineralization (calcification) in hermatypic corals. We describe first the anatomy of the …
Recent evidence suggests that corals can acclimatize or adapt to local stress factors through differential regulation of their gene expression. Profiling gene expression in corals from …

The impact of ocean acidification (OA) on coral calcification, a subject of intense current interest, is poorly understood in part because of the presence of symbionts in adult corals …

Insight into the response of reef corals and other major marine calcifiers to ocean acidification is limited by a lack of knowledge about how seawater pH and carbonate …
There are increasing concerns that the current rate of climate change might outpace the ability of reef-building corals to adapt to future conditions. Work on model systems has …
