Mycosporine-like amino acids and related Gadusols: biosynthesis, acumulation, and UV-protective functions in aquatic organisms. (2002, background): “Thus S-320 has been identified as a suite of MAAs in corals and other marine organisms (27, 28).”
Exposure to solar radiation increases damage to both host tissues and algal symbionts of corals during thermal stress (2004, methodology): “For all coral samples, the extraction and analysis of MAAs were performed according to the procedures in Dunlap and Chalker (1986) as modified by Shick et al. (1992).”
The distribution of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and the phylogenetic identity of symbiotic dinoflagellates in cnidarian hosts from the Mexican Caribbean (2006, methodology): “For all symbiont and host samples the extraction and analysis of MAAs were performed according to the procedures in Dunlap and Chalker (1986) as modified by Shick et al.”
Corals as light collectors: an integrating sphere approach (2005, background): “: +972-3-531-8283 Fax: +972-3-535-1217 Additionally, coloured water-soluble pigments in the animal tissue, as well as the mycosporin-like amino acid (MAA) S-320 and related compounds, absorb UV radiation (Shibata 1969; Dunlap and Chalker 1986).”
Sponge distribution across Davies Reef, Great Barrier Reef, relative to location, depth, and water movement (2004, background): “The mechanism used by these sponges to escape UV damage is unknown, however, they may contain similar UV blocking compounds to those found in hermatypic corals (Kawaguti 1944; Shibata 1969; Dunlap and Chalker 1987).”
