Baselines and Degradation of Coral Reefs in the Northern Line Islands
Effective conservation requires rigorous baselines of pristine conditions to assess the impacts of human activities and to evaluate the efficacy of management. Most coral reefs are moderately to… Expand
Gene-centric metagenomics of the fiber-adherent bovine rumen microbiome reveals forage specific glycoside hydrolases
- Jennifer M. Brulc, Dionysios A. Antonopoulos, +11 authors B. White
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 10 February 2009
The complex microbiome of the rumen functions as an effective system for the conversion of plant cell wall biomass to microbial protein, short chain fatty acids, and gases. As such, it provides a… Expand
Functional metagenomic profiling of nine biomes

Microbial activities shape the biogeochemistry of the planet and macroorganism health. Determining the metabolic processes performed by microbes is important both for understanding and for… Expand
Patterns of recruitment and abundance of corals along the Great Barrier Reef
Different physical and biological processes prevail at different scales. As a consequence, small-scale experiments or local observations provide limited insights into regional or global phenomena.… Expand
A highly abundant bacteriophage discovered in the unknown sequences of human faecal metagenomes

TLDR
Do the organic sulfur compounds DMSP and DMS drive coral microbial associations?
- J. Raina, E. Dinsdale, B. Willis, D. Bourne
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in microbiology
- 1 March 2010
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and dimethylsulfide (DMS) are key compounds in the global sulfur cycle. Moreover, DMS is particularly important in climate regulation owing to its role in cloud… Expand
Global microbialization of coral reefs
