Coral Carbonic Anhydrases: Regulation by Ocean Acidification

Coral Carbonic Anhydrases: Regulation by Ocean Acidification

Global change is a major threat to the oceans, as it implies temperature increase and acidification. Ocean acidification (OA) involving decreasing pH and changes in seawater carbonate chemistry challenges the capacity of corals to form their skeletons. Despite the large number of studies that have i...
