Jessica Deutsch - Metabolomics of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

"Since 2014 the novel Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) has appeared along the Florida Reef track, several Caribbean countries, and the U.S. Virgin Islands1,2. While the cause of SCTLD remains unidentified, spread through the water column, transmission through colony contact, and the success of antibiotic treatments in halting lesions in both aquaria and the field implicates involvement of waterborne pathogens3,4. We combine mass-spectrometry based metabolomics and computational tools to identify metabolites from coral species and associated microbes. We have annotated compounds with known antimicrobial and antibiotic properties from putative probiotic bacteria from our collaborators (Dr. Valerie Paul, Smithsonian Marine Station, Fort Pierce, FL). Healthy coral species from the Dry Tortugas region are used to establish baseline healthy metabolome. Finally, preliminary analysis of healthy and diseased corals from Broward County revealed several lipid classes that distinguish between the healthy and diseased state."
