Effect of light on growth, pigment production and culture morphology of Monascus purpureus in solid-state fermentation (2008, background): “This observation finds significance as it is against the postulated photo-protective role of biopigments (Yong and Lee 1991; Salih et al. 2000; Seagle et al. 2005).”
Fluorescent proteins and their applications in imaging living cells and tissues. (2010, background): “The first applies to reef-building corals that host algal symbionts (“zooxanthellae”): it has been suggested that the presence of FPs may scatter photosynthetically active radiation and thus either dissipate its excess in high light, providing photoprotection (204, 371), or deliver the unabsorbed li”
Diversity and Evolution of Coral Fluorescent Proteins (2008, background): “The ideas related to symbiosis with dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium (zooxanthellae) include photoprotection (suggested by Kawaguti [46,47] and substantiated by physiology data by Salih and coauthors [48]), fine symbiosis regulation [12], aposematic coloration, and masking the presence”
Interactions Between Corals and Their Symbiotic Algae (2015, background): “In high light-adapted corals, fluorescent proteins are concentrated in the epidermis above the algae and may serve as a protective screen to scatter the light and remove excess light energy by fluorescence; the same proteins located below the algae in the gastrodermis in shade-adapted corals might h”
Interspecific comparison of the symbiotic relationship in corals with high and low rates of bleaching-induced mortality (2002, background): “Salih et al. (2000) have equated bleaching resistance to high zooxanthellae ‘‘biomass’’ and have reported that these measures are correlated with the concentration of fluorescent pigments which can reduce the absorption of visible and UV radiation and thereby protect photosynthetic machinery and co”
Experience shapes the susceptibility of a reef coral to bleaching (2002, background): “The host too may provide photoprotection of algae by the presence of pigments (Salih et al. 1998, 2000) which scatter and fluoresce light.”
Spectral reflectance of coral reef bottom-types worldwide and implications for coral reef remote sensing (2003, background): “…zooxanthellae (unicellular algae living endosymbiotically within coral-host tissue) pigments have been shown to fluoresce (Dove, Hoegh-Guldberg, & Ranganathan, 2001, Dove et al., 1995; Mazel, 1995, 1996; Myers et al., 1999; Salih et al., 2000), and our data have indications of that fluorescence.”
Exploring the basis of thermotolerance in the reef coral Goniastrea aspera (2002, background): “…or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher Mar Ecol Prog Ser 242: 119–129, 2002 (Shick et al. 1996) and fluorescent pigments (Salih et al. 2000, Dove et al. 2001) which restrict penetration of light into coral tissues, and heat-shock protein (hsp) production…”
The distribution of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and the phylogenetic identity of symbiotic dinoflagellates in cnidarian hosts from the Mexican Caribbean (2006, background): “Hostderived photoprotective pigments such as pocilloporins and fluorescent proteins may result in attenuation of the light environment within the holosymbiont ( Salih et al., 2000; Dove et al., 2001).”
