The microbial contribution to ecological resilience is still largely overlooked in coral reef
ecology. Coral-associated bacteria serve a wide variety of functional roles with reference to …

This present study reviewed the chemical diversity of marine ascidians and their
pharmacological applications, challenges and recent developments in marine drug …

Diverse ecologically important metabolites, such as allelochemicals, infochemicals and
volatile organic chemicals, are involved in marine organismal interactions. Chemically …

Among the sub-phylum of Tunicate, ascidians represent the most abundant class of marine
invertebrates, with 3000 species by heterogeneous habitat, that is, from shallow water to …

Marine tunicates are identified as a potential source of marine natural products (MNPs),
demonstrating a wide range of biological properties, like antimicrobial and anticancer …

Chemistry drives many biological interactions between the microbiota and host animals, yet
it is often challenging to identify the chemicals involved. This poses a problem, as such small …

Ascidians are a class of sessile filter-feeding invertebrates, that provide unique and fertile
niches harboring various microorganisms, such as bacteria, actinobacteria, cyanobacteria …

Ascidians (tunicates) are invertebrate chordates, and prolific producers of a wide variety of
biologically active secondary metabolites from cyclic peptides to aromatic alkaloids. Several …

Animals, including invasive species, are complex entities consisting of a host and its
associated symbionts (holobiont). The interaction between the holobiont components is …

Microbial symbionts provide benefits that contribute to the ecology and fitness of host plants
and animals. Therefore, the evolutionary success of plants and animals fundamentally …
