Day-night cycle as a key environmental factor affecting coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Interpreting the coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis in light of the day-night cycle may provide missing links in understanding the function of endosymbiosis.

Coral Resilience Lab StepOnePlus™qPCR protocol for Cladocopium and DurusdiniumSymbiodiniaceae detection v2

, 2021
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.

Experimental evolution of the coral algal endosymbiont, Cladocopium goreaui: lessons learnt across a decade of stress experiments to enhance coral heat tolerance [PDF]

Restoration Ecology, 2021
Projected increases in sea surface temperatures will exceed corals' ability to withstand heat stress within this century. Experimental evolution of cultured symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) at high temperatures followed by reintroduction into corals can enhance coral heat tolerance. Several studies have selected for enhanced tolerance in Cladocopium goreaui

Homogenization of Endosymbiont Communities Hosted by Equatorial Corals during the 2016 Mass Bleaching Event

Microorganisms, 2020
Thermal stress drives the bleaching of reef corals, during which the endosymbiotic relationship between Symbiodiniaceae microalgae and the host breaks down.

Zoantharian Endosymbiont Community Dynamics During a Stress Event

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Coral reefs are complex ecosystems composed of many interacting species. One ecologically important group consists of zoantharians, which are closely related to reef-building corals.

The Endosymbiotic Coral Algae Symbiodiniaceae Are Sensitive to a Sensory Pollutant: Artificial Light at Night, ALAN

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Artificial Light at Night, ALAN, is a major emerging issue in biodiversity conservation, which can negatively impact both terrestrial and marine environments.

Response of Coral Reef Dinoflagellates to Nanoplastics under Experimental Conditions Suggests Downregulation of Cellular Metabolism

Microorganisms, 2020
Plastic products contribute heavily to anthropogenic pollution of the oceans. Small plastic particles in the microscale and nanoscale ranges have been found in all marine ecosystems, but little is known about their effects upon marine organisms.

Biogeography of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) community associated with the brooding coral Favia gravida in the Atlantic Ocean.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Zooxanthellate corals live in symbiosis with phototrophic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae, enabling the host coral to dwell in shallow, nutrient-poor marine waters.

Presence and Genetic Identity of Symbiodiniaceae in the Bioeroding Sponge Genera Cliona and Spheciospongia (Clionaidae) in the Spermonde Archipelago (SW Sulawesi), Indonesia

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Members of the family Symbiodiniaceae form symbiotic relationships with several metazoan groups on coral reefs, most notably scleractinian corals.

RETRACTED: Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Expressed Gene Complement and Acute Thermal Stress Response of Acropora digitifera Endosymbionts

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Dinoflagellate endosymbionts from the family Symbiodiniaceae form a mutualistic relationship with corals. However, this partnership is vulnerable to temperature stress, which can result in coral bleaching.
