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).

Establishment of coral-algal symbiosis requires attraction and selection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Coral reef ecosystems are based on coral-zooxanthellae symbiosis. During the initiation of symbiosis, majority of corals acquire their own zooxanthellae (specifically from the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium) from surrounding environments.

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 ...

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.

Culturing Symbiodinium v1 [PDF]
, 2018 we generated five clonal, axenic strains of Symbiodinium. These strains were assigned to clades A (two strains), B, E, and F based on their chloroplast 23S rDNA sequences. Growth studies in liquid cultures showed that the clade B strain and one of the clade A strains were able to grow photoautotrophically (in light with no fixed carbon ...

Validation of the binary designation Symbiodinium thermophilum (Dinophyceae) [PDF]
Journal of Phycology, 2018 The binary designation Symbiodinium thermophilum was invalid due to the absence of an illustration as required by Article 44.2 of the ICN. Herein, it is validated. This species is the most common symbiont in reef corals in the southern Persian/Arabian Gulf, the world's hottest body of water sustaining reef coral growth.

Host-specific interactions with environmental factors shape the distribution of symbiodinium across the Great Barrier Reef. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (genus Symbiodinium) within coral reef invertebrates are critical to the survival of the holobiont. The genetic variability of Symbiodinium may contribute to the tolerance of the symbiotic association to elevated 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 ...

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 ...

Engineering Strategies to Decode and Enhance the Genomes of Coral Symbionts
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Elevated sea surface temperatures from a severe and prolonged El Niño event (2014–2016) fueled by climate change have resulted in mass coral bleaching (loss of dinoflagellate photosymbionts, Symbiodinium spp., from coral tissues) and subsequent coral ...
