MetabolomicsSponge exudates influence coral reef picoplankton dynamics
Coral reef sponges efficiently take up particulate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the water column and release compounds such as nucleosides, amino acids, and other dissolved metabolites to the surrounding reef via their exhalent seawater, but the influence of this process on reef picoplank...

MetabolomicsAdvancing Reef Monitoring Techniques through Exometabolomics: Quantification of Labile Dissolved Organic Metabolites on Coral Reefs

Extracellular chemical cues constitute much of the language of life among marine organisms from microbes to mammals. These chemical cues shape foraging and feeding strategies, symbiotic interactions, selection of mates and habitats, and the transfer of energy and nutrient...

MetabolomicsApplication of 1H-NMR Metabolomic Profiling for Reef-Building Corals
In light of global reef decline new methods to accurately, cheaply, and quickly evaluate coral metabolic states are needed to assess reef health. Metabolomic profiling can describe the response of individuals to disturbance (i.e., shifts in environmental conditions) across biological models and is a...

MetabolomicsExtracellular reef metabolites across the protected Jardines de la Reina, Cuba reef-system

Coral reef ecosystems are incredibly diverse marine biomes that rely on nutrient cycling by microorganisms to sustain high productivity in generally oligotrophic regions of the ocean. Understanding the composition of extracellular reef metabolites in seawater, the small organic molecules that ser...

MetabolomicsCorrespondence of coral holobiont metabolome with symbiotic bacteria, archaea and Symbiodinium communities
Microbial symbiotic partners, such as those associated with reef-building corals, mediate biochemical transformations that influence host performance and survival. While evidence suggests microbial community composition partly accounts for differences in coral physiology, how these symbionts affect ...

MetabolomicsEvaluation of Sample Preparation Methods for the Analysis of Reef-Building Corals Using 1H-NMR-based Metabolomics
The field of metabolomics generally lacks standardized methods for the preparation of samples prior to analysis. This is especially true for metabolomics of reef-building corals, where the handful of studies that have been published employ a range of sample preparation protocols. The utilization of ...

MetabolomicsResolving coral photoacclimation dynamics through coupled photophysiological and metabolomic profiling
Corals continuously adjust to short term variation in light availability on shallow reefs. Long-term light alterations can also occur due to natural and anthropogenic stressors, as well as management interventions such as coral transplantation. Although short term photophysiological responses are re...

MetabolomicsBenthic exometabolites and their ecological significance on threatened Caribbean coral reefs (Metabolite collection incubation assays)

Benthic organisms sustain coral reefs through their growth and metabolism, but less is known about how their released metabolites influence reef seawater microorganisms. To investigate metabolite composition of benthic exudates and their ecological significance for reef microbial communities, we ...

MetabolomicsCoral symbiotic bacterial community and metabolites changes under thermal stress: A case of laboratory experiment with heating treatment
Coral bleaching and coral reef degradation become severe as the surface seawater temperature rises. Much research to date has focused on the bacterial community composition properties within the coral holobiont, but less attention has been paid to the interactions of bacteria and corals under therma...

MetabolomicsIdentifying metabolic alterations associated with coral growth anomalies using 1H NMR metabolomics
Coral growth anomalies (GAs) are tumor-like protrusions that are detrimental to coral health, impacting both the coral skeleton and soft tissues. These lesions are increasingly found throughout the tropics and are commonly associated with high human population density, yet little is known about the ...
