The genome of a giant clam zooxanthella (Cladocopium infistulum) offers few clues to adaptation as an extracellular symbiont with high thermotolerance [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Cladocopium infistulum (Symbiodiniaceae) is a dinoflagellate specialized to live in symbiosis with western Pacific giant clams (Tridacnidae). Unlike coral-associated symbionts, which reside within the host cells, C.

Biogeographical Patterns of Coral‐Associated Symbiodiniaceae Across Thermal Regimes Including Trace Molecular Detection of Cladocopium thermophilum (C3‐Gulf) in the Seychelles [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Reef‐building corals are under serious threat from ocean warming, which directly impacts their symbiotic partnership with dinoflagellates from the family Symbiodiniaceae; a partnership integral for the survival of coral reefs.

Membrane vectorial lipidomic features of coral host cells’ plasma membrane and lipid profiles of their endosymbionts Cladocopium [PDF]

Communications Biology
The symbiotic relationships between coral animal host and autotrophic dinoflagellates are based on the mutual exchange and tight control of nutritional inputs supporting successful growth.

Insights on the biochemical and cellular changes induced by heat stress in the Cladocopium isolated from coral Mussismilia braziliensis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Corals are treatened by global warming. Bleaching is one immediate effect of global warming, resulting from the loss of photosynthetic endosymbiont dinoflagellates.

Unraveling the metabolic effects of benzophenone-3 on the endosymbiotic dinoflagellate Cladocopium goreaui

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
As a well-known pseudo-persistent environmental pollutant, oxybenzone (BP-3) and its related organic ultraviolet (UV) filters have been verified to directly contribute to the increasing mortality rate of coral reefs.

Seasonal Physiological Strategies Reveal Contrasting Host–Symbiont Dynamics Among Dominant Indo‐Pacific Reef‐Building Corals [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
As coral reefs face declines driven by thermal stress and the breakdown of coral symbiosis (i.e., coral bleaching), restoration efforts rely on coral health and resilience rankings.

Using Transcript Levels of Nitrate Transporter 2 as Molecular Indicators to Estimate the Potentials of Nitrate Transport in Symbiodinium, Cladocopium, and Durusdinium of the Fluted Giant Clam, Tridacna squamosa [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Giant clams are important ecosystem engineers of coral reefs because they harbor large quantities of phototrophic Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates of mainly genera Symbiodinium, Cladocopium, and Durusdinium.

Evaluation of Redox-Mediated Responses of Coral Symbiotic Dinoflagellates to Nano-Selenium [PDF]

Marine Drugs
This study investigated species-specific physiological and redox responses of two coral symbiotic dinoflagellates, Cladocopium sp. and Durusdinium sp., to green-synthesized nano-selenium (SeNP) gradients, with implications for eco-friendly marine ...

Seasonal Variation in In Hospite but Not Free-Living, Symbiodiniaceae Communities Around Hainan Island, China [PDF]

Microorganisms
Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by global climate change, and mass bleaching and mortality events caused by elevated seawater temperature have led to coral loss worldwide. Hainan Island hosts extensive coral reef ecosystems in China, yet seasonal

Dual urea utilization enzyme systems in Symbiodiniaceae coral symbionts under warming [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Urea has been shown to be important as a nitrogen (N) nutrient for coral holobionts, but the mechanism underpinning urea utilization by symbiotic algae is not fully understood.
