Bacterial assemblages differ between compartments within the coral holobiont (2011, background): “The SML may also be complex and show variation in structure and function, perhaps with different layers with different properties and functions (Brown and Bythell 2005).”
Environmental impacts of dredging and other sediment disturbances on corals: a review. (2012, unknown): “Mucocytes, the cells producing mucus, are common in all coral tissues, but particularly so on the oral surface (Brown and Bythell, 2005).”
Diversity and functional importance of coral‐feeding fishes on tropical coral reefs (2008, background): “Coral mucous may contain a large protein-nitrogen component which results in a carbon to nitrogen ratio comparable to coral tissue (Brown and Bythell 2005).”
Nutritional status and metabolism of the coral Stylophora subseriata along a eutrophication gradient in Spermonde Archipelago (Indonesia) (2011, background): “…a large portion of photosynthates, and the acquired ATP is used inter alia for G (Al-Horani et al. 2003; Allemand et al. 2004) and mucus production (Brown and Bythell 2005), while the other portion provides compounds for the synthesis of cellular proteins, lipids (Muscatine and Cernichiari 1969;…”
Regulation of microbial populations by coral surface mucus and mucus-associated bacteria (2006, methodology): “Corals harbor a diverse array of bacterial associates (reviewed in Brown & Bythell 2005), some of which are thought to be species-specific (Ritchie & Smith 1997, Rohwer et al. 2002).”
Organic matter release by dominant hermatypic corals of the Northern Red Sea (2010, background): “Synthesis of mucus by corals relies on energy-rich photosynthates, which are transferred by the phototrophic endosymbiotic zooxanthellae and stored in the lipid pools of the host (Brown and Bythell 2005).”
Metabolite profiling of symbiont and host during thermal stress and bleaching in the coral Acropora aspera (2017, background): “However, it is noteworthy that a decline in maltose concentration has been reported as a direct indicator for enhanced growth of the well-known coral pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus (Brown and Bythell 2005) and further that growth of multiple Vibrio spp.”
Response of two species of Indo-Pacific corals, Porites cylindrica and Stylophora pistillata, to short-term thermal stress: The host does matter in determining the tolerance of corals to bleaching (2009, background): “However, the mucus accounts for up to 45% of the total energy budget of the coral, and provides a first layer of defense for invading microbes (Brown and Bythell, 2005; Ritchie, 2006).”
The role of microorganisms in coral health, disease and evolution (2007, background): “The biochemical and microbiological properties of coral mucus have been reviewed recentl”
