An introduction to lesions and histology of scleractinian corals

Veterinary Pathology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 60(5), P. 529 - 546

Published: July 31, 2023

Stony corals (Scleractinia) are in the Phylum Cnidaria (cnidae referring to various types of stinging cells). They may be solitary or colonial, but all secrete an external, supporting aragonite skeleton. Large, colonial members this phylum responsible for accretion coral reefs tropical and subtropical waters that form foundations most biodiverse marine ecosystems. Coral worldwide, particularly Caribbean, experiencing unprecedented levels disease, resulting reef degradation. Most diseases remain poorly described lack clear case definitions, while etiologies pathogenesis even more elusive. This introductory guide is focused on reef-building describes basic gross microscopic lesions these order serve as invitation other veterinary pathologists play a critical role defining advancing field pathology.

Bacterial Diversity Associated with Millepora alcicornis, Phyllogorgia dilatata and Mussismilia harttii Collected from Two Distinct Corals Reefs on the Brazilian Coast

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(2), P. 358 - 358

Corals can be considered holobiont organisms, since they have an important symbiotic relationship with microbial communities such as zooxanthellae, bacteria, Archaea, fungi and viruses. It is to understand how those influence the health of corals environmental conditions could affect them. The present study aimed describe bacterial associated three Brazilian coral species, Millepora alcicornis, Mussismilia harttii Phyllogorgia dilatata, by a culture-independent method, using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. were collected from two distinct reefs: Recife de Fora, in Bahia (BA) Búzios, Rio Janeiro (RJ). phylum Proteobacteria showed highest relative abundance most sites. compositions these sample sites very each other, not presenting similarities species or related sampling site. In M. alcicornes/RJ, abundant class was Gammaproteobacteria, order Piscirickettsiales, while same BA unassigned Vibrionaceae second family. harttii/BA presented composition 16 phyla (26% Proteobacteria, 16% Chloroflexi, 12% Acidobacteriota).
