Project description:Coral disease is one of the major causes of reef degradation and therefore of concern to management and conservation efforts. Dark Spot Syndrome (DSS) was described in the early 1990’s as brown or purple amorphous areas of tissue on a coral and has since become one of the most prevalent diseases reported on Caribbean reefs. It has been identified in a number of coral species, but there is debate as to whether it is in fact the same disease in different corals. Further, it is questioned whether these macroscopic signs are in fact diagnostic of an infectious disease, since they can also be caused by physical injury in some species. The most commonly affected species in the Caribbean is the massive starlet coral Siderastrea siderea. We sampled this species in two geographic locations, Dry Tortugas National Park and Virgin Islands National Park. Tissue biopsies were collected from both healthy colonies with normal pigmentation and those with dark spot lesions. Microbial-community DNA was extracted from coral samples (mucus, tissue, and skeleton), amplified using bacterial-specific primers, and applied to PhyloChip™ G3 microarrays to examine the bacterial diversity associated with this coral. Samples were also screened for the presence of a fungal ribotype that has recently been implicated as a causative agent of DSS in another coral species, however the amplicon pools were overwhelmed by coral 18S rRNA genes from S. siderea. Unlike a similar study on a white-plague-like disease, S. siderea samples did not cluster consistently based on health state (i.e., normal versus dark spot). Various bacteria, including Cyanobacteria and Vibrios, were observed to have increased relative abundance in the discolored tissue, but the patterns were not consistent across all DSS samples. Overall, our findings do not support the hypothesis that DSS in S. siderea is linked to a bacterial pathogen or pathogens. This dataset provides the most comprehensive overview to date of the bacterial community associated with the healthy scleractinian coral S. siderea. 17 samples, coral tissue punches from healthy and also from dark-spot-affected Siderastrea Siderea coral in the Virgin Islands and the Dry Tortugas National Parks was collected for comparison of associated bacterial communities

Project description:Publication Abstract: As climate changes, sea surface temperature anomalies that negatively impact coral reef organisms continue to increase in frequency and intensity. Yet, despite widespread coral mortality, genetic diversity remains high even in those coral species listed as threatened. While this is good news in many ways it presents a challenge for the development of biomarkers that can identify resilient or vulnerable genotypes. Taking advantage of three coral restoration nurseries in Florida that serve as long-term common garden experiments, we exposed over thirty genetically distinct Acropora cervicornis colonies to hot and cold temperature shocks seasonally and measured pooled gene expression responses using RNAseq. Targeting a subset of twenty genes, we designed a high-throughput qPCR array to quantify expression in all individuals separately under each treatment with the goal of identifying predictive and/or diagnostic thermal stress biomarkers. We observed extensive transcriptional variation in the population, suggesting abundant raw material is available for adaptation via natural selection. However, this high variation made it difficult to correlate gene expression changes with colony performance metrics such as growth, mortality, and bleaching susceptibility. Nevertheless, we identified several promising diagnostic biomarkers for acute thermal stress that may improve coral restoration and climate change mitigation efforts in the future.

Project description:Endozoicomonas are prevalent, abundant bacterial associates of marine animal hosts, including corals. Their role in holobiont health and functioning, however, remains poorly understood. To identify putative interactions within the coral holobiont, we characterized a novel Endozoicomonas isolate and assessed its transcriptomic and proteomic responses to tissue extracts of its native host, the Red Sea coral Acropora humilis, at control and elevated temperatures. We show that host cues stimulated differential expression of genes assumed to be involved in the modulation of the host immune response by Endozoicomonas, such as flagellar assembly genes, ankyrins, ephrins, and serpins. Proteome analysis revealed the upregulation of vitamin B1 and B6 biosynthetic as well as glycolytic processes by Endozoicomonas in response to host cues. We further demonstrate that the inoculation of A. humilis with its native Endozoicomonas strain resulted in enhanced holobiont health metrics, such as host tissue protein content and algal symbiont photosynthetic efficiency. Behavioral, physiological, and metabolic changes in Endozoicomonas may be key to the onset and function of mutualistic interactions within the coral holobiont, and our results suggest that the priming of Endozoicomonas to a symbiotic lifestyle may involve modulation of host immunity and the exchange of essential metabolites with other holobiont members. Consequently, Endozoicomonas presumably plays an important role in holobiont nutrient cycling and may therefore be implicated in its health, acclimatization, and ecological adaptation.
