Abstract:
      Coral mucus covers the surface of coral and contains antibacterial substances as a first line of defense.Coral mucus not only enables the coral itself to resist disease, but also provides antibacterial agents for people.We collected mucus from a scleractinian coral (Symphyllia gigantea) at Sta.Sanya (China), then extracted the antibacterial substances using 10% glacial acetic acid with the help of antiprotease inhibitors, and tested the antibacterial activity by a terrestrial bacterium (Staphylococcus aureus) and a marine bacterium (Vibrio anguillarum).The result showed that, there were antibacterial agents in the mucus, and their antibacterial activities were lost by treatment of the sample at 90℃ water for 10 min.
