Antimicrobial activity of coral-associated beneficial bacteria against coral disease-causing microbial pathogens
Lawrance, I.; Ravindran, C.; Haritha, P.R. (John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2024)Microbial infection of immune-compromised corals influences disease severity, resulting in coral mortality. However, coral-associated beneficial bacteria are known to produce antimicrobial compounds that prevent the growth ... -
Beneficial properties of mucus in coral adaptations and ecological interactions
Bhagwat, P.V.; Ravindran, C.; Lawrance, I. (Springer, 2024)Coral mucus secreted by mucocytes provides a protective physicochemical and physiological barrier between coral tissue and external environmental threats. The biomolecules and nutrients of the secreted mucus are derived ... -
Characterization of the defense properties of healthy and diseased coral mucus
Phartade, V.B.; Ravindran, C.; Lawrance, I. (Elsevier, 2023)The surface mucus layer of corals aids in feeding, silt removal, and defense against pathogens. However, first line of defense of secreted mucus of corals against tissue damage generated through pathogen or environmental ... -
Ciliated protozoan occurrence and association in the pathogenesis of coral disease
Ravindran, C.; Haritha, P.R.; Lawrance, I. (Elsevier, 2022)Various microbial infections have significantly contributed to disease progression leading to the mortality of corals. However, the holobiont and the external surfaces of coral, including the secreted mucus, provide a ... -
Endosymbiotic Symbiodinium clades occurrence and influence on coral growth and resilience during stress
Ravindran, C.; Lawrance, I.; Anto, V.J. (Springer, 2022)The endosymbionts of Symbiodiniaceae members establish an obligate relationship with most of the reef-building corals.Photosynthates of Symbiodiniaceae symbionts provide the maximum energy requirements of the host coral.Apart ... -
Possible beneficial interactions of ciliated protozoans with coral health and resilience
Ravindran, C.; Lawrance, I.; Haritha, P.R. (American Society for Microbiology, 2023)Microbial interactions contribute significantly to coral health in the marine environment. Most beneficial associations have been described with their bacterial communities, but knowledge of beneficial associations between ...
