Symbiodinium photosynthesis in Caribbean octocorals. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Symbioses with the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium form the foundation of tropical coral reef communities. Symbiodinium photosynthesis fuels the growth of an array of marine invertebrates, including cnidarians such as scleractinian corals and octocorals (e.g.

Persistent Legacy Effects of Marine Heatwaves on Coral Symbioses. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
The algal symbionts hosted by Platygyra ryukyuensis corals on Kiritimati Island were distributed according to their exposure to local human disturbance before an extreme marine heatwave (1). The symbionts hosted by corals underwent a major shift as a result of this acute heatwave disturbance, with transient symbionts detected in corals at less turbid ...

Flexible Symbiotic Associations of Symbiodinium With Five Typical Coral Species in Tropical and Subtropical Reef Regions of the Northern South China Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The coral symbiont Symbiodinium plays important roles in the adaptation of coral to environmental changes. However, coral-Symbiodinium symbiotic associations are not well-understood in the South China Sea (SCS) whilst considering environmental factors ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

Deep-sequencing method for quantifying background abundances of symbiodinium types: exploring the rare symbiodinium biosphere in reef-building corals. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The capacity of reef-building corals to associate with environmentally-appropriate types of endosymbionts from the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium contributes significantly to their success at local scales.

Diverse responses of Symbiodinium types to menthol and DCMU treatment [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
To understand the mechanism of photosynthetic inhibition and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Symbiodinium types under stress, chemicals such as dichlorophenyl dimethylurea (DCMU) are widely used.

Protein evolution in two co-occurring types of Symbiodinium: an exploration into the genetic basis of thermal tolerance in Symbiodinium clade D [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background The symbiosis between reef-building corals and photosynthetic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium) is an integral part of the coral reef ecosystem, as corals are dependent on Symbiodinium for the majority of their energy needs.

Resolving widespread and endemic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) mutualistic with Indo-Pacific octocorals reveals differences in specificity based on host phylogeny. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract Endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate family Symbiodiniaceae can form mutualisms with a diverse array of host invertebrates, constituting a widespread and ecologically important family. While those associated with reef‐building corals (order Scleractinia) have received considerable research attention, the diversity and ecology of zooxanthellae ...

Diversity and Abundance of Symbiodiniaceae and Bacteria in Corals Sarcophyton trocheliophorum and Euphyllia ancora Under Thermal Stimulation [PDF]

Journal of Genetic Resources, 2021
Coral Symbiodiniaceae and bacteria maintain a symbiotic relationship that is essential for coral survival. The symbiotic communities component in the polyps host could affect coral resistance and the ability to recover from stress.

Validation and description of Symbiodinium microadriaticum, the type species of Symbiodinium (Dinophyta) [PDF]

Journal of Phycology, 2017
It has been 55 years since Hugo Freudenthal described Symbiodinium microadriaticum (Dinophyceae), the type species of this large and important dinoflagellate genus found commonly in mutualistic symbiosis with cnidarians, other invertebrates, and certain protists. However, no type specimen was designated by Freudenthal, thus S.
