Persistent Legacy Effects of Marine Heatwaves on Coral Symbioses. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolThe algal symbionts hosted by Platygyra ryukyuensis corals on Kiritimati Island were distributed according to their exposure to local human disturbance before an extreme marine heatwave (1). The symbionts hosted by corals underwent a major shift as a result of this acute heatwave disturbance, with transient symbionts detected in corals at less turbid ...

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.

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 ...

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.

TheSymbiodiniumProteome Response to Thermal and Nutrient Stresses
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2022 AbstractCoral bleaching is primarily caused by high sea surface temperatures, and nutrient enrichment of reefs is associated with lower resilience to thermal stress and ecological degradation. Excess inorganic nitrogen relative to phosphate has been proposed to sensitize corals to thermal bleaching. We assessed the physiological and proteomic responses

Signatures of adaptation and symbiosis in genomes and transcriptomes of Symbiodinium [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractSymbiodiniumis best-known as the photosynthetic symbiont of corals, but some clades are symbiotic in other organisms or include free-living forms. Identifying similarities and differences among these clades can help us understand their relationship with corals, and thereby inform on measures to manage coral reefs in a changing environment. Here,

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 ...
