From: Transcriptomic analysis of the response of Acropora millepora to hypo-osmotic stress provides insights into DMSP biosynthesis by corals

Fig. 2

Changes in DMSP concentration (mean ± s.e.) in adult corals (n = 5) and settled juveniles (n = 6) of the coral A. millepora. Adults (a) were exposed to ambient/control (35 PSU, green) and two salinity stress conditions (25 and 40 PSU in blue and black respectively). DMSP concentrations increased significantly under hyposaline stress (25 PSU; *H-F Pr < 0.005) and through time compared to both the control and hypersaline stress conditions (40 PSU; *p adj < 0.05). No significant changes in DMSP levels were observed between the control and 40 PSU treatments. Juveniles (b) were exposed to ambient/control (35 PSU, green) or hyposaline (28 PSU, blue) conditions. In this case, DMSP levels differed significantly between treatments and controls (F = 17.70, *p < 0.0005), but did not differ significantly with time
