A previous Australia-wide pilot study identified pain as a significant burden in people with CF (pwCF). However, the prevalence, frequency and severity have not been evaluated using validated tools. Australian adults, pwCF healthy controls (HC) were invited to complete an online questionnaire from July 2023 - February 2024, consisting of four tools: Brief Pain Inventory, Catastrophising Scale, PAGI-SYM PAC-SYM. The questionnaire, disseminated via Cystic Fibrosis Australia, Together social...
Unicellular photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium are most common endosymbionts reef-building scleractinian corals, living in a symbiotic partnership known to be highly susceptible environmental changes such as hyperthermic stress. In this study, we identified members two major heat shock proteins (HSPs) families, Hsp70 and Hsp90, sp. (clade C) with full-length sequences that showed highest similarity evolutionary relationship other HSPs from dinoflagellate protists....
Tropical reef-building coral stress levels will intensify with the predicted rising atmospheric CO2 resulting in ocean temperature and acidification increase. Most studies to date have focused on destabilization of coral-dinoflagellate symbioses due warming oceans, or declining calcification acidification. In our study, pH conditions consistent end-of-century scenarios Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) caused major changes photosynthesis respiration, addition decreased rates...
Human-induced environmental changes have been linked directly with loss of biodiversity. Coral reefs, which severely impacted by anthropogenic activities over the last few decades, exemplify this global problem and provide an opportunity to develop research addressing key knowledge gaps through 'omics'-based approaches. While many stressors, e.g. warming, ocean acidification, overfishing coastal development identified, there is urgent need understand how corals function at a basic level in...
Changes to the environment as a result of human activities can in range impacts on reef building corals that include coral bleaching (reduced concentrations algal symbionts), decreased growth and calcification, increased incidence diseases mortality. Understanding how elevated temperatures nutrient concentration affect early transcriptional changes their endosymbionts is critically important for evaluating responses reefs global happening environment. Here, we investigated expression genes...
Transposable elements are in a constant arms race with the silencing mechanisms of their host genomes. One mechanism commonly used by many eukaryotes is dependent on cytosine methylation, covalent modification DNA deposited C5 methyltransferases (DNMTs). Here, we report how two distantly related eukaryotic lineages, dinoflagellates and charophytes, have independently incorporated DNMTs into coding regions distinct retrotransposon classes. Concomitantly, show that genus Symbiodinium evolved...
Exposure to heat stress has been recognized as one of the major factors leading breakdown coral-alga symbiosis and coral bleaching. Here, we describe presence three new cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes from reef-building endosymbiont Symbiodinium (type C3) changes in their expression during exposure severe moderate conditions. Sequence analysis CYP C-terminal region two conserved domains, "PERF" "heme-binding" confirmed separate identities analyzed. In order explore effects different scenarios,...
This paper presents a study of wave propagation through an infinite periodic structure that consists elastic Timoshenko beams interconnected with rigid bodies. is generalized approach in which the are not coaxial and centre mass each body placed away from intersection their neutral axes. An analytical used by applying transfer matrix method (TMM), along Floquet-Bloch theorem for propagation. Subsequent parametric analysis performed visualization resulting band diagrams representative...
