Microsatellite loci for Symbiodinium goreaui and other Clade C Symbiodinium

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2013
The genus Symbiodinium comprises a diverse group of dinoflagellates known for their obligate relationship with reef–building corals. Members of the sub-genus ‘clade C’ are abundant, geographically wide-spread, as well as genetically and ecologically diverse. Coral colonies harboring clade C are often the most exposed to physical stressors.

Microsatellite loci for the host-generalist “zooxanthella” Symbiodinium trenchi and other Clade D Symbiodinium

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2011
Nine new polymorphic microsatellites were developed for Symbiodinium trenchi (sensu type D1a). These loci were tested on populations of S. trenchi from corals in Palau and 3–19 alleles were observed at each haploid locus with an average of 7 alleles.

Recent progress in Symbiodinium transcriptomics

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2011
Abstract Dinoflagellate symbionts of the genus Symbiodinium are integral to the success of the coral holobiont (a coral host and the microbial community it harbours), however despite their importance we currently have a very limited knowledge of the genes which they possess and their genomic organisation.

Physiology and cryosensitivity of coral endosymbiotic algae (Symbiodinium)

Cryobiology, 2010
Coral throughout the world are under threat. To save coral via cryopreservation methods, the Symbiodinium algae that live within many coral cells must also be considered. Coral juvenile must often take up these important cells from their surrounding water and when adult coral bleach, they lose their endosymbiotic algae and will die if they are not ...

Thermal responses of Symbiodinium photosynthetic carbon assimilation

Coral Reefs, 2014
The symbiosis between hermatypic corals and their dinoflagellate endosymbionts, genus Symbiodinium, is based on carbon exchange. This symbiosis is disrupted by thermally induced coral bleaching, a stress response in which the coral host expels its algal symbionts as they become physiologically impaired. The disruption of the dissolved inorganic carbon (

Symbiodinium kawagutii strain:CCMP2468 Genome sequencing

2014
The phototrophic dinoflagellates are one of the most important primary producers, of which the symbiotic genus Symbiodinium is essential to the growth of reef-building corals. Dinoflagellates are also most important contributors of the environmentally and economically devastating harmful algal blooms and biotoxins in the marine ecosystem.Here, we ...

Global Networks of Symbiodinium-Bacteria Within the Coral Holobiont

Microbial Ecology, 2018
Scleractinian corals form the framework of coral reefs and host abundant and diverse microbial communities that are fundamental to their success. A very limited number of studies have examined the co-occurrence of multiple partners within the coral 'holobiont' and their pattern of specificity over different geographical scales.

SYMBIODINIUM MICROADRIATICUM FREUDENTHAL, A REVISED TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION, ULTRASTRUCTURE

Journal of Phycology, 1969
SUMMARY The ultrastructure of Symbiodinium microadriaticum in vitro and in the type host Condylactis and Casseopeia is described and contrasted with previous observations on symbionts from Anemonia sulcata and the Pacific Tridacnidae. Its type description is emended with new electron microscopic observations and with a list of alternate hosts ...

Biology of Symbiotic Dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium) in Corals

2015
The chapter summarizes the diversity and ecology of zooxanthellae, especially focusing on the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium. Symbiodinium spp. are known to engage in mutual symbioses with a wide variety of marine invertebrates (e.g., corals) and protists, in both tropical and temperate waters. Because of an increasing awareness of “coral bleaching”

Genetics and Morphology Characterize the Dinoflagellate Symbiodinium voratum, n. sp., (Dinophyceae) as the Sole Representative of Symbiodinium Clade E

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2013
AbstractDinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium are ubiquitous in shallow marine habitats where they commonly exist in symbiosis with cnidarians. Attempts to culture them often retrieve isolates that may not be symbiotic, but instead exist as free‐living species.
