Coral reef facts:

  • Provide $11.9 trillion per year
  • Support 500 million people worldwide
  • Over 50% of living coral has been lost
  • 25% of all marine species are at risk
  • Possible solutions:

  • Antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase
  • Heat shock proteins
  • Stress proteins hsp60 and hsp70
  • Fluorescent proteins
  • Mycosporine-like amino acids...natural sunscreens
  • More lipids or low molecular weight lipophilic compounds
  • More membrane stability = less ROS
  • Codon Optimized RFP
