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

Symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae mediate coral-associated bacterial communities along a natural thermal gradient [PDF]

Environmental Microbiome
The coral-associated microbiome plays a vital role in the holobiont, enabling coral adaptation to diverse environments by modulating its composition and mediating interactions among its constituents.

A Lectin AtTL-2 Obtained from Acropora aff. tenuis Induced Stimualation of Phagocytosis of Symbiodiniaceae [PDF]

Microorganisms
The coral Acropora aff. tenuis selectively acquired various zooxanthella (Symbiodiniaceae) strains, and one of the selective factors was lectins. The A. aff.

Coral-Associated Bacteria Provide Alternative Nitrogen Source for Symbiodiniaceae Growth in Oligotrophic Environment [PDF]

Microorganisms
Coral reefs thrive in nutrients-poor waters, and their survival strategy in such oligotrophic marine environments remains largely unexplored. Current coral research has focused on the interplay between the animal hosts, symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae, and ...

Inhibiting inositol transport disrupts metabolite profiles and mimics heat stress in a model cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis [PDF]

Communications Biology
The nutrient exchange between corals and their symbiotic microalgae (Symbiodiniaceae) is vital for coral survival. Disruptions in this mutualistic relationship, often due to stress-induced dysbiosis, contribute significantly to coral mortality and reef ...

Caribbean fish feces are an environmental hotspot of viable Symbiodiniaceae [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Approximately 85% of stony coral species initially acquire their nutritional symbionts (Family Symbiodiniaceae) from the environment (horizontal transmission).

Ammonium supply represses iron limitation to support Symbiodiniaceae growth. [PDF]

Front Microbiol
Nutrient exchanges promote the success of symbioses among reef-building corals, endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Family: Symbiodiniaceae), and their microbial symbionts. Nutrient dynamics has considerable implications on the metabolism and proliferation of

Algal Symbionts Indicate Heatwave Vulnerability in Corals From Hotspots but Not From Thermal Refugia. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
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.

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

Ecol Evol
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.

Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals Genetic Differences Between Symbiodiniaceae Populations Among Reproductively and Geographically Isolated Acropora Colonies in Western Australia

Ecology and Evolution
Significant genetic differentiation between Symbiodiniaceae populations in coral hosts can be induced by a range of factors including geography, latitude, depth, temperature and light utilisation.
