Searching for phylogenetic patterns of Symbiodiniaceae community structure among Indo-Pacific Merulinidae corals [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Over half of all extant stony corals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Scleractinia) harbour endosymbiotic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae, forming the foundational species of modern shallow reefs.

Proteomic Basis of Symbiosis: A Heterologous Partner Fails to Duplicate Homologous Colonization in a Novel Cnidarian– Symbiodiniaceae Mutualism

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Reef corals and sea anemones form symbioses with unicellular symbiotic dinoflagellates. The molecular circumventions that underlie the successful intracellular colonization of hosts by symbionts are still largely unknown.

The Host Coral Bleaching Response Viewed Through the Lens of Multi‐Omics

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
Coral bleaching is driven by multiple inputs, with heat stress and/or high irradiance being most important. The bleaching response is multifactorial with host animal species/strain and algal symbiont genotypes being critical features. Omics readout of heat stress responses includes gene expression, proteomics, metabolite, and SNP data with transcript ...

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 ...

Concordant Patterns of Population Genetic Structure and Symbiont Communities in a Broadcasting Spawning Coral Along a Western Australian Fringing Reef

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We explored fine‐scale patterns of connectivity and symbiont associations across the Ningaloo reefscape to inform on post‐disturbance recovery, larval dispersal capabilities, and recruitment dynamics. We detected low but significant population genetic structure among sample sites spread across Ningaloo Reef with the highest diversity in southern sites.

A phenomic modeling approach for using chlorophyll-a fluorescence-based measurements on coral photosymbionts

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
We test a newly developed instrument prototype which utilizes time-resolved chlorophyll-a fluorescence techniques and fluctuating light to characterize Symbiodiniaceae functional traits across seven different coral species under cultivation as part of ...

Impacts of Nearby Algae on Recruitment Success and Early Microbiome Development of the Coral Acropora cytherea

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.
Crustose coralline algae promote the survival and growth of coral recruits. However, these positive effects are not linked with the dynamics of the coral microbiome. Results reveal a transfer of opportunistic bacteria shared with all surrounding benthos, rather than a transfer of bacteria from specific algae to corals. ABSTRACT The persistence of coral

Algal Symbionts Indicate Heatwave Vulnerability in Corals From Hotspots but Not From Thermal Refugia

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Reef‐building corals face continued declines due to climate change‐amplified marine heatwaves. In addition to affecting coral heat tolerance, corals' algal endosymbionts (family Symbiodiniaceae) can reflect their prior heatwave exposure, although understanding is often limited to heatwave‐induced shifts between symbiont genera.

Differences in Molecular Responses to a Thermally Variable Preconditioning Treatment for Two Caribbean Coral Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Coral reefs around the world are increasingly threatened by rising ocean temperatures, leading to more frequent mass bleaching events. However, some corals, typically found in more thermally variable environments, have demonstrated resilience to thermal stress.

Symbiodiniaceae and Ruegeria sp. Co-Cultivation to Enhance Nutrient Exchanges in Coral Holobiont

Microorganisms
The symbiotic relationship between corals and their associated microorganisms is crucial for the health of coral reef eco-environmental systems. Recently, there has been a growing interest in unraveling how the manipulation of symbiont nutrient cycling ...
