Cellular plasticity facilitates phenotypic change in a dominant coral’s Symbiodiniaceae assemblage
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Coral-associated dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) are photosynthetic endosymbionts that influence coral acclimation, as indicated by photo-endosymbiotic phenotypic variance across different environmental conditions.

Can Acropora tenuis larvae attract native Symbiodiniaceae cells by green fluorescence at the initial establishment of symbiosis? [PDF]
, 2021 Most corals acquire symbiodiniacean symbionts from the surrounding environment to initiate symbiosis. The cell densities of Symbiodiniaceae in the environment are usually low, and mechanisms may exist by which new coral generations attract suitable ...

Comparative transcriptomic analyses of Chromera and Symbiodiniaceae
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2020 Summary Reef‐building corals live in a mutualistic relationship with photosynthetic algae (family Symbiodiniaceae) that usually provide most of the energy required by the coral host. This relationship is sensitive to temperature stress; as little as a 1°C increase often leads to the collapse of the association ...

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.

Smart utilization of betaine lipids in the giant clam Tridacna crocea [PDF]
, 2023 The giant clam Tridacna crocea thrives in poorly nourished coral reef water by forming a holobiont with zooxanthellae and utilizing photosynthetic products of the symbiont.
