New Findings on the Survival of Durusdinium glynnii Under Different Acclimation Methods to Low Salinities [PDF]
MicroorganismsThis study investigated the effects of salinity on the growth and cell morphotype of the coral-associated dinoflagellate Durusdinium glynnii under two acclimation strategies: abrupt saline shock (S5) and gradual reduction (S2).

Transcriptome Analysis of Durusdinium Associated with the Transition from Free-Living to Symbiotic [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 To detect the change during coral–dinoflagellate endosymbiosis establishment, we compared transcriptome data derived from free-living and symbiotic Durusdinium, a coral symbiont genus.

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.

Extra high superoxide dismutase in host tissue is associated with improving bleaching resistance in “thermal adapted” and Durusdinium trenchii-associating coral [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Global warming threatens reef-building corals with large-scale bleaching events; therefore, it is important to discover potential adaptive capabilities for increasing their temperature resistance before it is too late.

Importance of depth and temperature variability as drivers of coral symbiont composition despite a mass bleaching event [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Coral reefs are iconic examples of climate change impacts because climate-induced heat stress causes the breakdown of the coral-algal symbiosis leading to a spectacular loss of color, termed ‘coral bleaching’.

Lineage-specific symbionts mediate differential coral responses to thermal stress [PDF]
Microbiome, 2023 Background Ocean warming is a leading cause of increasing episodes of coral bleaching, the dissociation between coral hosts and their dinoflagellate algal symbionts in the family Symbiodiniaceae.

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

Baseline dynamics of Symbiodiniaceae genera and photochemical efficiency in corals from reefs with different thermal histories [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Ocean warming and marine heatwaves induced by climate change are impacting coral reefs globally, leading to coral bleaching and mortality. Yet, coral resistance and resilience to warming are not uniform across reef sites and corals can show inter- and ...
