[Coral-List] Induction of coral larval metamorphosis by tetrabromopyrrole

[Tilmann Harder]

Hi all, I just like to draw your attention to a new paper in PLoSOne, describing the isolation of a chemical inducer of acroprid coral larval metamorphosis from a Pseudoalteromonas bacterium associated with CCA.

Tebben J, Tapiolas DM, Motti CA, Abrego D, Negri AP, et al. (2011) Induction of Larval Metamorphosis of the Coral Acropora millepora by
Tetrabromopyrrole Isolated from a Pseudoalteromonas Bacterium. PLoS ONE 6(4): e19082.
