Regulation of microbial populations by coral surface mucus and mucus-associated bacteria (2006, background): “Extracts from soft corals and gorgonian corals have antimicrobial properties (Burkholder & Burkholder 1958, Kim 1994, Slattery et al. 1995, 1997, Kelman et al. 1998, 2006).”
Are infectious diseases really killing corals? Alternative interpretations of the experimental and ecological data (2007, background): “While the majority of these antimicrobials have been observed in soft corals (Kelman et al., 2006), recent data has shown that hard corals can also release antimicrobials after exposure to stress (Geffen and Rosenberg, 2005).”
The coral probiotic hypothesis. (2006, background): “, 2004) and soft corals (Kelman et al., 2006) that associated bacteria produce antibiotics that are active against planktonic bacteria, but not those bacteria associated with the animal.”
