Differential Affinities of a Pocillopora damicornis Galectin to Five Genera of Symbiodiniaceae at Different Temperatures [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The symbiosis of coral-Symbiodiniaceae is the quintessential basis of the coral reef ecosystem, and its breakdown results in coral bleaching, one of the most severe ecological catastrophes in the ocean.

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

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.

Improved Cladocopium goreaui Genome Assembly Reveals Features of a Facultative Coral Symbiont and the Complex Evolutionary History of Dinoflagellate Genes

Microorganisms, 2022
Dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae are crucial photosymbionts in corals and other marine organisms. Of these, Cladocopium goreaui is one of the most dominant symbiont species in the Indo-Pacific. Here, we present an improved genome assembly of

Nitrogen source type modulates heat stress response in coral symbiont (Cladocopium goreaui)

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Ocean warming due to climate change endangers coral reefs, and regional nitrogen overloading exacerbates the vulnerability of reef-building corals as the dual stress disrupts coral–Symbiodiniaceae mutualism.

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

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.

Fine‐Scale Geographic Variation of Cladocopium in Acropora hyacinthus Across the Palauan Archipelago

Ecology and Evolution
Symbiont genotype plays a vital role in the ability of a coral host to tolerate rising ocean temperatures, with some members of the family Symbiodiniaceae possessing more thermal tolerance than others.

Commercial Arthrospira platensis Extract Modifies the Photophysiology of Cladocopium goreaui, Coral Endosymbiont Microalgae

Phycology
Arthrospira platensis extract is incorporated into sunscreen formulations for its beneficial and UV-protective properties on cultured human cells. However, its effects have not yet been assessed on non-target organisms such as endosymbiotic microalgae in

Nitrogen availability improves the physiological resilience of coral endosymbiont Cladocopium goreaui to high temperature [PDF]

Journal of Phycology, 2021
The physiological response of symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae to high temperature is believed to result in coral bleaching. However, the potential effect of nitrogen availability on heat acclimatization of symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae is still unclear. In this study, physiological responses of Symbiodiniaceae Cladocopium goreaui to temperature and nitrogen ...

The Symbiodiniaceae and Bacterial Dynamic Composition of the Coral Echinopora gemmacea on Wuzhizhou Island

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Coral’s susceptibility to bleaching is determined by the strength of the intricate mutual relationships among coral symbionts. However, there is limited knowledge about how the symbiotic members of the scleractinian coral Echinopora gemmacea respond to ...

Gates lab qPCR protocol for Cladocopium and DurusdiniumSymbiodiniaceae detection v1 [PDF]

, 2020
The purpose of this protocol is to quantify Cladocopium and Durusdinium Symbiodiniaceae cell ratio densities (symbiont to host cell ratios) from individual coral DNA samples using the StepOnePlus™ Real-Time PCR System. It allows for a quick assessment of the symbiont community composition and ratio using targeted primers.
