Abstract Although the early coral reef-bleaching warning system (NOAA/USA) is established, there no feasible treatment that can minimize temperature bleaching and/or disease impacts on corals in field. Here, we present first attempts to extrapolate widespread and well-established use of bacterial consortia protect or improve health other organisms (e.g., humans plants) corals. Manipulation coral-associated microbiome was facilitated through addition a consortium native (isolated from...
Mangroves are transitional coastal ecosystems in tropical and sub-tropical regions represent biologically important productive ecosystems. Despite their great ecological economic importance, mangroves often situated areas of high anthropogenic influence, being exposed to pollutants, such as those released by oil spills.A microcosm experiment was conducted, which simulated an spill previously pristine mangrove sediment. The effect the on extant microbial community studied using direct...
A total of 34 lactic acid bacteria isolates from 4 different Brazilian kefir grains were identified and characterized among a group 150 isolates, using the ability to tolerate acidic pH resistance bile salts as restrictive criteria for probiotic potential. All by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis 16S rDNA sequencing representative amplicons. Eighteen belonged species Leuconostoc mesenteroides, 11 Lactococcus lactis (of which 8 subspecies cremoris 3 lactis), 5 Lactobacillus...
Probiotics mitigate post-heat stress disorder, preventing coral mortality.
Within microeukaryotes, genetic variation and functional sometimes accumulate more quickly than morphological differences. To understand the evolutionary history ecology of such lineages, it is key to examine diversity at multiple levels organization. In dinoflagellate family Symbiodiniaceae, which can form endosymbioses with cnidarians ( e.g ., corals, octocorals, sea anemones, jellyfish), other marine invertebrates e.g. , sponges, molluscs, flatworms), protists foraminifera), molecular...
The Fourth Global Coral Bleaching Event was officially confirmed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) International Reef Initiative (ICRI) on April 15, 2024, with press releases a coordinated call
Beneficial microorganisms for corals (BMCs), or probiotics, can enhance coral resilience against stressors in laboratory trials. However, the ability of probiotics to restructure microbiome situ is yet be determined. As a first step elucidate this, we inoculated putative probiotic bacteria (pBMCs) on healthy colonies Pocillopora verrucosa Red Sea, three times per week, during 3 months. pBMCs significantly influenced microbiome, while surrounding seawater and sediment remained unchanged. The...
Certain coral individuals exhibit enhanced resistance to thermal bleaching, yet the specific microbial assemblages and their roles in these phenotypes remain unclear. We compared communities of bleaching–resistant (TBR) bleaching–sensitive (TBS) corals using metabarcoding metagenomics. Our multidomain approach revealed stable distinct compositions between phenotypes. Notably, TBR were inherently enriched with eukaryotes, particularly Symbiodiniaceae, linked photosynthesis, biosynthesis...
The microbial diversity and community structure of three different kefir grains from parts Brazil were examined via the combination two culture-independent methods: PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) pyrosequencing. PCR-DGGE showed Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens kefiri to be major bacterial populations in all grains. yeast was dominated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Pyrosequencing produced a total 14,314 partial 16S rDNA sequence reads Sequence analysis grouped into phyla,...
Understanding the Maxam-Gilbert and Sanger sequencing as first generation, in recent years there has been an explosion of newly-developed strategies, which are usually referred to next generation (NGS) techniques. NGS techniques have high-throughputs produce thousands or even millions sequences at same time. These allow for accurate identification microbial taxa, including uncultivable organisms those present small numbers. In specific applications, provides a complete inventory all operons...
Anthropogenic forces, such as petroleum spills and the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, have caused an accumulation hydrocarbons in environment. The its derivatives now constitutes important environmental problem. Biocatalysis introduces new ways to improve development bioremediation strategies. recent application molecular tools biocatalysis may bioprospecting research, enzyme yield recovery, specificity, thus increasing cost-benefit ratios. Enzymatic remediation is a valuable...
Abstract Several anthropogenic factors, including contamination by oil spills, constitute a threat to coral reef health. Current methodologies remediate polluted marine environments are based on the use of chemical dispersants; however, these can be toxic holobiont. In this study, probiotic bacterial consortium was produced from Mussismilia harttii and trained degrade water-soluble fractions (WSFs). Additionally, we assessed effect WSFs health M. in tanks evaluated as bioremediation agent....
The microbial community composition and chemical characteristics of a Brazilian milk kefir sample produced during its manufacturing refrigerated storage were investigated by culture-dependent -independent methods HPLC. Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris lactis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Acetobacter lovaniensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated, whereas the detected bands on denaturing gel gradient electrophoresis corresponded to Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens, kefiri, parakefiri, S....
