Chemically mediated interactions between macroalgae Dictyota spp. and multiple life-history stages of the coral Porites astreoides (2011, background): “In the presence of the benthic cyanobacterium Lyngbya bouilloni, the coral Porites lutea grew less, showed signs of bleaching and had reduced photosynthetic efficiency when compared to the controls (Titlyanov et al. 2007).”
Competition Among Sessile Organisms on Coral Reefs (2011, background): “We conclude that mechanisms employed by macroalgae to compete with corals include diverse physical and chemical processes that impact all stages of the coral life cycle (Titlyanov et al. 2007) and may involve alteration of microbial assemblages on corals.”
Cyanobacteria in Coral Reef Ecosystems: A Review (2012, background): “Cyanobacterial mats act as a poison for scleractinian corals and are able to kill live coral tissue [43].”
