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.

Identification of Sequences EncodingSymbiodinium minutumMitochondrial Proteins [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2016 The dinoflagellates are an extremely diverse group of algae closely related to the Apicomplexa and the ciliates. Much work has previously been undertaken to determine the presence of various biochemical pathways within dinoflagellate mitochondria. However, these studies were unable to identify several key transcripts including those encoding proteins ...

The Symbiodinium Proteome Response to Thermal and Nutrient Stresses.
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2022 Coral bleaching is primarily caused by high sea surface temperatures, and nutrient enrichment of reefs is associated with lower resilience to thermal stress and ecological degradation.

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.

Marine Invertebrate Larvae Associated with Symbiodinium: A Mutualism from the Start?
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Symbiodinium are dinoflagellate photosynthetic algae that associate with a diverse array of marine invertebrates, and these relationships are comprehensively documented for adult animal hosts.
