Symbiodiniaceae photophysiology and stress resilience is enhanced by microbial associations [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Symbiodiniaceae form associations with extra- and intracellular bacterial symbionts, both in culture and in symbiosis with corals. Bacterial associates can regulate Symbiodiniaceae fitness in terms of growth, calcification and photophysiology.
