No references found | [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In the November 2008 issue of the Journal of Applied Microbiology, lead author James Cervino, a guest investigator in the WHOI Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department, and colleagues reported that they have isolated the microbes that cause YBD: a group of four new species of vibrio, which combine with existing vibrio on the coral to attack the zooxanthellae. In shallow tropical waters of the world's oceans, zooxanthellae and reef-building coral polyps have evolved to be dependent on one another. Yellow-brown algae called zooxanthellae support their hosts' survival by carrying out photosynthesis and providing nutrients that stimulate construction of reef coral colonies. |
