Symbiodinium isolation by NaOH treatment [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012
Summary The presence of photosynthetic zooxanthellae (Dinoflagellates) in the tissue of many cnidarians is the main reason for their ecological success (i.e. coral reefs). It could also be their demise, as worldwide reef building coral bleaching is nothing less than the breakdown of this symbiotic association.

Symbiodinium—Invertebrate Symbioses and the Role of Metabolomics [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2010
Symbioses play an important role within the marine environment. Among the most well known of these symbioses is that between coral and the photosynthetic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium spp. Understanding the metabolic relationships between the host and the symbiont is of the utmost importance in order to gain insight into how this symbiosis may be ...

Revealing the Physiological Patterns of Dinoflagellates in North-Eastern Adriatic Phytoplankton. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using metatranscriptomics, we have described the annual taxonomic and functional succession of the phytoplankton community in the north‐eastern Adriatic Sea, taking into account the effects of environmental factors on succession. The results obtained in this way represent the first comprehensive physiological characterisation of the phytoplankton ...

<i>In hospite</i> and <i>ex hospite</i> architecture of photosynthetic thylakoid membranes in <i>Symbiodinium spp.</i> using small-angle neutron scattering. [PDF]

J Appl Crystallogr
Small‐angle neutron scattering is used to detect signals from the photosynthetic membranes of symbiotic algae living inside and outside their host corals and anemones. A model is constructed for the scattering that allows the architecture of the triple membrane stack be understood in living organisms, with implications for their physiology.We ...

Differences in Molecular Responses to a Thermally Variable Preconditioning Treatment for Two Caribbean Coral Species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
ABSTRACT Coral reefs around the world are increasingly threatened by rising ocean temperatures, leading to more frequent mass bleaching events. However, some corals, typically found in more thermally variable environments, have demonstrated resilience to thermal stress.

Coral Skeletal Cores as Windows Into Past Symbiodiniaceae Community Dynamics. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Stony corals rely on their association with symbiotic algae for their growth and health. However, corals can lose these symbionts in response to heat stress and bleach, but they can also recover from bleaching and associate with new, more tolerant symbionts.

Broad Ecological Niche in Seashore Lichens Emerges From a Stable, Selective Association With Generalist Algal Symbionts. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In mutualistic symbioses, partner flexibility often broadens the host ecological niche. We found a stable association between littoral lichens and their algal symbionts along a natural salinity gradient, suggesting that the broad ecological niche can be facilitated by association with a single generalist symbiont.

Symbiodinium microadriaticum (coral microalgal endosymbiont)

Trends in Genetics, 2021
Photosynthetic microalgae, from the family Symbiodiniaceae, engage in endosymbioses with marine invertebrates, including stony corals. More generally, dinoflagellates are ubiquitous protists and the main primary producers in the oceans. Despite their ecological and economic importance, their biology remains enigmatic.

Cryopreservation of the gorgonian endosymbiont Symbiodinium [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractThe study focused on finding a suitable cryoprotectant (CPA) and an optimum freezing protocol for the cryopreservation of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium, clade G) of Junceella fragilis wherein the success of experiments is crucial to both scientific and ecology studies. A two-step freezing technique was developed. The viability

Azooxanthellate? Most Hawaiian black corals contain Symbiodinium [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
The ecological success of shallow-water reef-building corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia) is framed by their intimate endosymbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium (zooxanthellae).
