“…These observations are consistent with the broad mode of action of MEMC. The effects on adult corals are similar to those of the antifoulant TBT, which can cause both tissue damage and a slight reduction in photosynthesis at low concentrations (Smith et al 2003).…”

“…The wide range of organisms, bacteria included, affected by the toxic effects of TBT (White et al, 1999;Alzieu, 2000;Petersen and Gustavson, 2000;Qun-Fang et al, 2002;Smith et al, 2003;Jensen et al, 2004;White and Tobin, 2004) suggests that molecular cell components common to all living systems, namely biomembranes, may constitute the main target of this lipophilic xenobiotic. Prokaryotic cells are particularly useful to study the molecular toxicity of membraneactive compounds, offering advantage over eukaryotic cells owing to the simple membrane organization.…”

“…Reports of TBT toxicity to organisms belonging to the five taxonomic kingdoms have been reported (White et al, 1999;White and Tobin, 2004;Smith et al, 2003;Jensen et al, 2004), endocrine disruption, (Schulte-Oehlmann et al, 1997) and mitochondria function impairment (Jurkiewicz et al, 2004) effects. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the toxicity of TBT are far from full understanding.…”

“…The chronic toxicity of TBT to biota and the relationship between toxicity and bioaccumulation has been identified as a tool for predicting the toxicity of contaminated sediments (Bartlett et al, 2004) and the availability of sediment bound TBT to biota, as demonstrated by uptake and effects, is supported by other studies (Midorikawa et al, 2004;Ramaswamy et al, 2004). Contamination with TBT may effect a range of organisms, and although effects on molluscs are well documented, corals have also been identified as being impacted by TBT (Smith et al, 2003) indicating that understanding the fate and behavior of residues of TBT is likely to be significant in protecting a wide range of ecosystems.…”
