Deep-sequencing method for quantifying background abundances of symbiodinium types: exploring the rare symbiodinium biosphere in reef-building corals. [PDF]
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.

Recent progress in Symbiodinium transcriptomics [PDF]
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.

Fluorescence from a single Symbiodinium cell [PDF]
The partnership between coral and its algal symbionts, Symbiodinium, is crucial to the global environment. Yet, the regulatory process within the photosynthetic machinery of Symbiodinium is still not clearly understood. Here, we studied the influence of light stress from focussed red and blue lasers on single Symbiodinium cells.

Diversity and distribution of symbiodinium associated with seven common coral species in the Chagos Archipelago, central Indian Ocean. [PDF]
The Chagos Archipelago designated as a no-take marine protected area in 2010, lying about 500 km south of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, has a high conservation priority, particularly because of its fast recovery from the ocean-wide massive coral ...

Defining the core microbiome of the symbiotic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium [PDF]
Summary Dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium underpin the survival and ecological success of corals. The use of cultured strains has been particularly important to disentangle the complex life history of Symbiodinium and their ...

Azooxanthellate? Most Hawaiian black corals contain Symbiodinium [PDF]
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).

Advancing Symbiodiniaceae Functional Ecology Through a Trait-Based Framework. [PDF]
Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are central to coral reef functioning, supporting primary production, nutrient cycling, calcification, and influencing coral thermal tolerance through intracellular symbiosis. Despite their ecological importance, these symbionts have not yet been incorporated into a formal functional ecology framework due to challenges ...

Biogeographical Patterns of Coral-Associated Symbiodiniaceae Across Thermal Regimes Including Trace Molecular Detection of <i>Cladocopium thermophilum</i> (C3-Gulf) in the Seychelles. [PDF]
Reef‐building corals rely on symbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) for survival; however, the distribution of thermotolerant symbionts across environmental gradients remains poorly understood. Using ITS2 metabarcoding across three bioregions spanning extreme to moderate thermal regimes (Bahrain, Seychelles, and Indonesia), we show that ...

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.
