On optical and physical properties of sea ice in the Baltic Sea
… living organisms in the ice cover by producing mycosporine like amino acids (MAAs) in relatively high amounts. MAAs are a family of photoprotective compounds that absorb UV radiation efficiently. At the visible part of spectrum the ice by itself and the thickness of meteoric ice layer were the …

The Role of Mucus in the Ultraviolet Radiation Protection of <em>Porites astreoides</em>
… including corals, is the production of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) that absorb biologically harmful wavelengths of UVR in the range from 309 to 360 nm. Normally present within animal tissues, MAAs have also been extracted from mucus present on colony surfaces. Many functions, …

Ultraviolet Radiation and Carotenoid Pigmentation in Symbiotic Anthozoans
… of additional photoprotective measures such as mycosporine-like amino acids. Exogenous feeding also affects the photoprotective abilities of carotenoids as xanthophyll cycling increased in unfed treatments.</p> <p>In <strong>CHAPTER IV</strong>, zooxanthella densities and concentrations of …

On the ecophysiology of Baltic cyanobacteria focusing on bottom-up factors
… and photo-protective strategies (production of mycosporine-like amino acids, MAAs) may explain their competitive advantage in the Baltic Sea. However, intraspecific variation in the response to environmental factors has been commonly overlooked. The seasonal succession with peaks of …

Effects ofUltraviolet Radiation on Newly Settled Recruits of the Reef-building Coral <em>Porites astreoide</em>
… with UVR stress by producing compounds called mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) that absorb biologically harmful wavelengths ofUVR between 309 and 360 nm. Organisms that incorporate a suite of MAAs with a range ofabsorbance maxima create a broadband filter that protects them from UVR damage …
