Microbiology Indonesia, 2018 Symbiodinium is phototrophic dinoflagellates that occur as endosymbionts in various marine invertebrates and protists, forming mutualistic symbiosis with their hosts.

Moderate Thermal Stress Causes Active and Immediate Expulsion of Photosynthetically Damaged Zooxanthellae (Symbiodinium) from Corals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The foundation of coral reef biology is the symbiosis between corals and zooxanthellae (dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium). Recently, coral bleaching, which often results in mass mortality of corals and the collapse of coral reef ecosystems, has become ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.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 ...

Effective light absorption and absolute electron transport rates in the coral Pocillopora damicornis [PDF]
, 2014 Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) fluorometry has been widely used to estimate the relative photosynthetic efficiency of corals. However, both the optical properties of intact corals as well as past technical constrains to PAM fluorometers have prevented ...

An updated assessment of Symbiodinium spp. that associate with common scleractinian corals from Moorea (French Polynesia) reveals high diversity among background symbionts and a novel finding of clade B [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The adaptative bleaching hypothesis (ABH) states that, depending on the symbiotic flexibility of coral hosts (i.e., the ability of corals to “switch” or “shuffle” their algal symbionts), coral bleaching can lead to a change in the composition of their ...

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 96-111, February 2026.Abstract Development and growth of microalgae are mainly sustained by two essential nutrients: nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Although single‐nutrient limitation has been extensively studied, the balance between N and P availability remains less explored.

Symbiodinium cp23S RFLP and sequence analysis v1 [PDF]
, 2018 This protocol describes how to perform PCR on extracted Symbiodinium DNA to amplify a fragment of the chloroplast 23S rRNA gene. It is based on the method describes in Pochon et al., 2006. The protocol then explains how to perform an RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis on the PCR products as well as eitherusing them directly for ...

A preliminary survey of zoantharian endosymbionts shows high genetic variation over small geographic scales on Okinawa-jima Island, Japan [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Symbiotic dinoflagellates (genus Symbiodinium) shape the responses of their host reef organisms to environmental variability and climate change. To date, the biogeography of Symbiodinium has been investigated primarily through phylogenetic analyses of ...

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 191-204, February 2026.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 ...

Quantification of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) production in the sea anemone Aiptasia sp. to simulate the sea-to-air flux from coral reefs [PDF]
, 2017 The production of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is poorly quantified in tropical reef environments but forms an essential process that couples marine and terrestrial sulfur cycles and affects climate.
