What is Aspergillus sydowii: Coral Pathogen Insights about?

The document examines the effects of temperature on growth of the fungal pathogen Aspergillus sydowii, which causes disease in Caribbean sea fan corals. Experiments tested the growth of marine and terrestrial A. sydowii strains at different temperatures and in the presence of extracts from sea fan corals. Results showed that all strains grew best at around 30°C and that sea fan extracts inhibited fungal growth, but this effect decreased at higher temperatures, suggesting temperature could influence disease
