The sea star, Pisaster ochraceus, has unique and dominant bacteria.
All animals live in close association with bacteria, but for most hosts little is known about the distribution and host-specificity of these bacteria. We used amplicon... -

We sought to examine the influence of exogenous organic matter substrate addition and suboxic conditions on viral replication in the giant Pacific sea cucumber Apostichopus... -
Symbiont identification of the brittlestar Amphipholis squamata
16S sequencing of symbionts cultured from a North Atlantic brittle star. -
Reproducing spotting disease in the purple sea urchin
The aim of this study is to determine if various bacterial strains can reproduce spotting disease lesions in the purple sea urchin. Bacterial strains were isolated and cultured... -
Microbiome associated with spotting disease in the purple sea urchin
The goal of this study is to characterize the microbiome of various tissues (external surface, body wall, coelomic fluid) of sea urchins infected with spotting disease.
