Reef endemism, host specificity and temporal stability in populations of symbiotic dinoflagellates from two ecologically dominant Caribbean corals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium forms symbioses with numerous protistan and invertebrate metazoan hosts. However, few data on symbiont genetic structure are available, hindering predictions of how these populations and their host associations will ...

Multi-gene analysis of Symbiodinium dinoflagellates: a perspective on rarity, symbiosis, and evolution [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Symbiodinium, a large group of dinoflagellates, live in symbiosis with marine protists, invertebrate metazoans, and free-living in the environment. Symbiodinium are functionally variable and play critical energetic roles in symbiosis.

Effects of Taurine on Primary Metabolism and Transcription in a Coral Symbiodinium sp.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Coral reefs belong to the marine ecosystems and host the richest biodiversity of marine organisms. Coral reefs are formed as a result of the symbiotic relationship between the host coral animal and photosynthetic dinoflagellates, namely Symbiodinium sp ...

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 A delicate relationship exists between reef-building corals and their photosynthetic endosymbionts. Unfortunately, this relationship can be disrupted, with corals expelling these algae when temperatures rise even marginally above the average summer ...

Trace Metal Requirements and Interactions in Symbiodinium kawagutii [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Photosynthetic organisms need trace metals for various biological processes and different groups of microalgae have distinctive obligate necessities due to their respective biochemical requirements and ecological niches. We have previously shown that the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium kawagutii requires high concentrations of bioavailable Fe to achieve ...

Transcriptional response of two core photosystem genes in Symbiodinium spp. exposed to thermal stress. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mutualistic symbioses between scleractinian corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium spp.) are the foundation of coral reef ecosystems.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 The majority of corals acquire their photo-endosymbiont Symbiodinium from environmental sources anew each generation. Despite the critical role that environmental availability of Symbiodinium plays in the potential for corals to acclimate and adapt to ...

Symbiodinium transcriptomes: genome insights into the dinoflagellate symbionts of reef-building corals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Dinoflagellates are unicellular algae that are ubiquitously abundant in aquatic environments. Species of the genus Symbiodinium form symbiotic relationships with reef-building corals and other marine invertebrates.

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.
