Using NanoSIMS coupled with microfluidics to visualize the early stages of coral infection by Vibrio coralliilyticus

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Emma Mary Gibbin

Background: Global warming has triggered an increase in the prevalence and severity of coral disease, yet little is known about coral/pathogen interactions in the early stages of infection. The point of entry of the pathogen and the route that they take on ...

Scleractinian coral morphogenesis : searching for stem cells and precursors of the skeletogenic calicodermis

Agathe Eliette Marie Lecointe

Metamorphosis is a crucial step in the life cycle of a scleractinian coral: The swimming coral larva, the planula, settles, and metamorphoses into a sessile calcifying primary polyp, which subsequently grows into an adult colony. Importantly, morphogenesis ...

Cell proliferation and migration during early development of a symbiotic scleractinian coral

Anders Meibom, Agathe Eliette Marie Lecointe, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

In scleractinian reef-building corals, patterns of cell self-renewal, migration and death remain virtually unknown, limiting our understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying initiation of calcification, and ontogenesis of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellat ...

The Phosphate Specific Transport (Pst) System in Fast- and Slow-Growing Mycobacteria

Cyntia De Piano

Although mycobacteria are known to accumulate polyphosphate (PolyP), a linear polymer of orthophosphate, when subjected to stresses, the exact roles of this molecule are not yet clearly understood. We found that deletion of the pstA gene encoding for a tra ...

Scleractinian coral cell proliferation is reduced in primary culture of suspended multicellular aggregates compared to polyps

Anders Meibom, Shirit Cohen, Stéphanie Kéren Cohen, Agathe Eliette Marie Lecointe, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

Cell cultures from reef-building scleractinian corals are being developed to study the response of these ecologically important organisms to environmental stress and diseases. Despite the importance of cell division to support propagation, cell proliferati ...
