Metabolite profiling of symbiont and host during thermal stress and bleaching in the coral Acropora aspera (2017, background): “One alternative is the production of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), which is also initially via the shikimate pathway (Shick and Dunlap 2002; Rosic and Dove 2011).”
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): “There are dynamic photoprotective mechanisms in both the host and zooxanthellae that include ultraviolet radiation absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) (Shick and Dunlap, 2002; Lesser, 2004), excess excitation energy dissipation in PSII via the xanthophyll cycle (Brown et al.”
Water flow influences oxygen transport and photosynthetic efficiency in corals (2006, background): “…No- flow Hyperoxic Flow Coral Tissue Water Column Coral Tissue Water Column Coral Tissue Water Column Coral Tissue Water Column Leggat et al. 1999; Shick and Dunlap 2002) are likely to be energetically costly, it is reasonable to expect that physical conditions that promote the efflux of oxygen…”
Screening of visible and UV radiation as a photoprotective mechanism in plants (2008, background): “Meanwhile, MAA showed only a moderate antioxidative activity [33].”
Antioxidant activity of mycosporine-like amino acids isolated from three red macroalgae and one marine lichen (2009, positive): “…inhibition assay) by the oxo-MAAs M-gly, its functional analogue, MAA-taurine, as well as by the biosynthetic precursor of MAAs 4-deoxygadusol (Shick and Dunlap 2002), while the imino-MAAs were presented as robust antioxidants in lipid medium (Dunlap and Yamamoto 1995; Dunlap and Shick 1998;…”
Corals as light collectors: an integrating sphere approach (2005, background): “…the UV absorbing pigments in a variety of zooxanthellate hosts increases towards the surface (Shick et al. 1995; Banaszak et al. 1998; Lesser 2000; Shick and Dunlap 2002) Shibata and Haxo (1969) measured the absorption spectra of zooxanthellae and endolithic algae found in the skeleton of the…”
Experimental biology of coral reef ecosystems (2004, background): “MAA concentrations in corals, zoanthids and cultured zooxanthellae have been shown to decrease upon exposure to elevated seawater temperatures (Lesser et al., 1990; Glynn et al., 1992; Lesser, 1996; Shick and Dunlap, 2000), potentially leaving both host tissues and symbiotic zooxanthellae more susce”
Production of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the open ocean by zooplankton and the colonial cyanobacterium Trichodesmium spp. (2004, background): “…subtropical Sargasso Sea, CDOM distribution does not directly correlate with phytoplankton productivity or biomass on a seasonal scale (Siegel et al. 1995, Siegel & Michaels 1996, Nelson et al. 1998), or with dissolved organic carbon concentration (DOC) (Siegel & Michaels 1996, Nelson et al. 1998).”
Cyanobacterial Responses to UV Radiation (2012, background): “…years on the effects of UV radiation (UVR) on microorganisms (e.g. Castenholz and Garcia-Pichel 2000 ; Vincent and Neale 2000 ; Whitehead et al. 2000 ; Roy 2000 ; Häder 2001 ; Cockell 2001 ; Day and Neale 2002 ; Shick and Dunlap 2002 ; Hockberger 2002 ; Castenholz 2004 ; Singh et al. 2010 ) .”
A review of the effects of environmental stress on embryonic development within intertidal gastropod egg masses (2004, background): “Ultraviolet-radiation-absorbing compounds, such as mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), have been identified recently in many marine organisms (reviewed by Shick and Dunlap 2002), including pelagic invertebrate eggs (Epel et al. 1999).”
Synergistic effects associated with climate change and the development of rocky shore molluscs (2005, background): “UVR can be absorbed by the walls of some gastropod egg capsules (Rawlings 1996) or UVR screening compounds called mycosporine-like amino acids (Shick & Dunlap 2002).”
