| photobacterium jeanii sp. nov., isolated from corals and zoanthids. | four novel isolates (r-40508(t), r-40507, r-40903 and r-21419) were obtained from different cnidarian species (phyllogorgia dilatata, merulina ampliata and palythoa caribaeorum) from different places in brazil and australia. the novel isolates formed a tight phylogenetic group based on 16s rrna, reca, topa, ftsz, mreb and rpoa gene sequences. their closest phylogenetic neighbours were the type strains of photobacterium leiognathi, p. rosenbergii and p. halotolerans, sharing 97.1-97.5 % 16s rrna ... | 2010 | 20081016 |
| quantification of coral sperm collected during a synchronous spawning event. | most studies of coral reproductive biology to date have focused on oocyte numbers and sizes. only one (ex situ) study has enumerated sperm numbers, even though these data have multiple potential applications. we quantified total coral sperm and eggs per gamete bundle collected from six species in situ during a synchronous spawning event in singapore. egg-sperm bundles were captured midwater as they floated towards the surface after being released by the colony. for each sample, a semi-transparen ... | 2016 | 27478697 |
