Sea anemones play a crucial role in marine ecosystems. Recent studies have highlighted their physiological and ecological responses to thermal stress. Therefore, our objective was perform proteomic analysis of Bunodosoma cavernatum sea the Gulf Mexico, subjected stress, understand whether these organisms activate specific processes resist increased temperature. We submitted one group variable temperatures (26 32 °C) another constant temperature (28 for 1.5 months. Then we them stress (32 2 weeks. evaluated enzymatic activity proteome columns tentacles. The main effect regime change is reduction mass. Also, synthesized proteins related activation immune system protection against observed decreased peroxidase activity, while superoxide dismutase higher only group. On basis data, deduce that B. are vulnerable climate because they stop producing toxins tentacles when faced with cellular make susceptible pathogens. These not sufficient guarantee an optimal health state.
