Defining the core microbiome of the symbiotic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium [PDF]

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2017
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 ...

Fluorescence from a single Symbiodinium cell

Methods and Applications in Fluorescence, 2018
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.

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).

Resolving widespread and endemic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) mutualistic with Indo-Pacific octocorals reveals differences in specificity based on host phylogeny. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract Endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate family Symbiodiniaceae can form mutualisms with a diverse array of host invertebrates, constituting a widespread and ecologically important family. While those associated with reef‐building corals (order Scleractinia) have received considerable research attention, the diversity and ecology of zooxanthellae ...

Diversity and Abundance of Symbiodiniaceae and Bacteria in Corals Sarcophyton trocheliophorum and Euphyllia ancora Under Thermal Stimulation [PDF]

Journal of Genetic Resources, 2021
Coral Symbiodiniaceae and bacteria maintain a symbiotic relationship that is essential for coral survival. The symbiotic communities component in the polyps host could affect coral resistance and the ability to recover from stress.

Genetics and Morphology Characterize the Dinoflagellate Symbiodinium voratum, n. sp., (Dinophyceae) as the Sole Representative of Symbiodinium Clade E

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2013
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.

Validation and description of Symbiodinium microadriaticum, the type species of Symbiodinium (Dinophyta) [PDF]

Journal of Phycology, 2017
It has been 55 years since Hugo Freudenthal described Symbiodinium microadriaticum (Dinophyceae), the type species of this large and important dinoflagellate genus found commonly in mutualistic symbiosis with cnidarians, other invertebrates, and certain protists. However, no type specimen was designated by Freudenthal, thus S.

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

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 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.
