Genome evolution of Symbiodiniaceae [PDF]

, 2020
Symbiotic interactions between dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) and corals give rise to the ecological complexity and biodiversity of reef ecosystems. Comparative genomic studies can aid in tracing the evolutionary history of these dinoflagellates, and thus elucidate the evolutionary forces that drove their diversification and adaptation as ...

Genome Size, rDNA Copy, and qPCR Assays for Symbiodiniaceae [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Symbiodiniaceae community structure in corals is crucial for understanding the plasticity of different holobionts under environmental stress. While this relies on molecular analyses, accuracy of molecular quantification, as influenced by DNA extraction efficiency and rDNA copy number variations in particular, has rarely been systematically investigated.

Molecular Mechanisms of Coral Persistence Within Highly Urbanized Locations in the Port of Miami, Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Healthy coral communities can be found on artificial structures (concrete walls and riprap) within the Port of Miami (PoM), Florida. These communities feature an unusually high abundance of brain corals, which have almost entirely vanished from nearby ...

Coral Skeletal Cores as Windows Into Past Symbiodiniaceae Community Dynamics. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Abstract The symbiosis between the dinoflagellate Symbiodiniaceae family and reef-building corals underpins the productivity of coral reefs. This relationship facilitates the deposition of calcium- carbonate skeletons that build the reef structure thanks to the energy derived from photosynthesis.

A Zeaxanthin-Producing Bacterium Isolated from the Algal Phycosphere Protects Coral Endosymbionts from Environmental Stress

mBio, 2020
Reef-building corals form a complex consortium with photosynthetic algae in the family Symbiodiniaceae and bacteria, collectively termed the coral holobiont.

Investigation into the Presence of Symbiodiniaceae in Antipatharians (Black Corals) [PDF]

Oceans, 2021
Here, we report a new broad approach to investigating the presence and density of Symbiodiniaceae cells in corals of the order Antipatharia subclass Hexacorallia, commonly known as black corals. Antipatharians are understudied ecosystem engineers of shallow (<30 m depth), mesophotic (30–150 m) and deep-sea (>200 m) reefs.

Fish predation on corals promotes the dispersal of coral symbionts

Animal Microbiome, 2021
Background The microbiomes of foundation (habitat-forming) species such as corals and sponges underpin the biodiversity, productivity, and stability of ecosystems.

Multiple waves of viral invasions in Symbiodiniaceae algal genomes

Virus Evolution, 2022
Abstract Dinoflagellates from the family Symbiodiniaceae are phototrophic marine protists that engage in symbiosis with diverse hosts. Their large and distinct genomes are characterized by pervasive gene duplication and large-scale retroposition events. However, little is known about the role and scale of horizontal gene transfer (HGT)

Coral endosymbiont growth is enhanced by metabolic interactions with bacteria

Nature Communications, 2023
Bacteria are key contributors to microalgae resource acquisition, competitive performance, and functional diversity, but their potential metabolic interactions with coral microalgal endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) have been largely overlooked.

Genome Improvement and Core Gene Set Refinement of Fugacium kawagutii

Microorganisms, 2020
Cataloging an accurate functional gene set for the Symbiodiniaceae species is crucial for addressing biological questions of dinoflagellate symbiosis with corals and other invertebrates. To improve the gene models of Fugacium kawagutii, we conducted high-
