Population genetics of reef coral endosymbionts (Symbiodinium, Dinophyceae) [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractSymbiodinium is a diverse genus of unicellular dinoflagellate symbionts associating with various marine protists and invertebrates. Although the broadscale diversity and phylogenetics of the Symbiodinium complex is well established, there have been surprisingly few data on fine‐scale population structure and biogeography of these ...

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.

BMC Biology, 2021 Background Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae are important photosynthetic symbionts in cnidarians (such as corals) and other coral reef organisms. Breakdown of the coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis due to environmental stress (i.e.

Thermal Stress Has Minimal Effects on Bacterial Communities of Thermotolerant Symbiodinium Cultures
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Algae in the dinoflagellate family Symbiodiniaceae are endocellular photosymbionts of corals and other cnidarians. This close relationship is disrupted when seawater temperature increases, causing coral bleaching eventually affecting entire coral reefs ...

Defining the core microbiome of the symbiotic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2018 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 ...

Macroalgal-associated dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium in Caribbean reefs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Coral-algal symbiosis has been a subject of great attention during the last two decades in response to global coral reef decline. However, the occurrence and dispersion of free-living dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium are less ...

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.

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

Recovery from bleaching is mediated by threshold densities of background thermo-tolerant symbiont types in a reef-building coral [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Sensitive molecular analyses show that most corals host a complement of Symbiodinium genotypes that includes thermo-tolerant types in low abundance. While tolerant symbiont types are hypothesized to facilitate tolerance to temperature and recovery from ...

Can resistant coral-Symbiodinium associations enable coral communities to survive climate change? A study of a site exposed to long-term hot water input [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Climate change has led to a decline in the health of corals and coral reefs around the world. Studies have shown that, while some corals can cope with natural and anthropogenic stressors either through resistance mechanisms of coral hosts or through ...
