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.

Unlocking the phylogenetic diversity, primary habitats, and abundances of free-living Symbiodiniaceae on a coral reef. [PDF]

, 2020
Dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae form mutualistic symbioses with marine invertebrates such as reef-building corals, but also inhabit reef environments as free-living cells.

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-

Characterization of a Giant PSI Supercomplex in the Symbiotic Dinoflagellate Symbiodiniaceae [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2020
Symbiodiniaceae are symbiotic dinoflagellates that provide photosynthetic products to corals. Because corals are distributed across a wide range of depths in the ocean, Symbiodiniaceae species must adapt to various light environments to optimize their photosynthetic performance.

Cellular processes underlying symbiosis establishment in Aiptasia, a model for cnidarian-dinoflagellate endosymbiosis [PDF]

, 2020
Coral reefs are the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Their productivity is powered by the symbiotic association between corals and unicellular photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae.

Shifting in the Dominant Bacterial Group Endozoicomonas Is Independent of the Dissociation With Coral Symbiont Algae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The coral-associated Endozoicomonas are dominant bacteria in the coral holobiont. Their relative abundance usually decreases with heat-induced coral bleaching and is proposed to be positively correlated with Symbiodiniaceae abundance.

Resolving Symbiodiniaceae Diversity Across Coral Microhabitats and Reef Niches. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
ABSTRACT Dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae are important symbionts of diverse marine animals and they also occupy different environmental niches on coral reefs. The link between diversity at ecosystem‐scale to microhabitats of Symbiodiniaceae within the coral holobiont is largely unknown.

Higher genotypic diversity and distinct assembly mechanism of free-living Symbiodiniaceae assemblages than sympatric coral-endosymbiotic assemblages in a tropical coral reef

Microbiology Spectrum
While in hospite Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are essential for coral health, ambient free-living counterparts are crucial for coral recruitment and resilience.

Presence and Genetic Identity of Symbiodiniaceae in the Bioeroding Sponge Genera Cliona and Spheciospongia (Clionaidae) in the Spermonde Archipelago (SW Sulawesi), Indonesia

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Members of the family Symbiodiniaceae form symbiotic relationships with several metazoan groups on coral reefs, most notably scleractinian corals.

Transcriptome Reprogramming of Symbiodiniaceae Breviolum minutum in Response to Casein Amino Acids Supplementation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae can live freely in ocean waters or form a symbiosis with a variety of cnidarians including corals, sea anemones, and jellyfish.
