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).

Establishment of coral-algal symbiosis requires attraction and selection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Coral reef ecosystems are based on coral-zooxanthellae symbiosis. During the initiation of symbiosis, majority of corals acquire their own zooxanthellae (specifically from the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium) from surrounding environments.

Symbiodinium—Invertebrate Symbioses and the Role of Metabolomics [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2010 Symbioses play an important role within the marine environment. Among the most well known of these symbioses is that between coral and the photosynthetic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium spp. Understanding the metabolic relationships between the host and the symbiont is of the utmost importance in order to gain insight into how this symbiosis may be ...

Diverse responses of Symbiodinium types to menthol and DCMU treatment [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 To understand the mechanism of photosynthetic inhibition and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Symbiodinium types under stress, chemicals such as dichlorophenyl dimethylurea (DCMU) are widely used.

Culturing Symbiodinium v1 [PDF]
, 2018 we generated five clonal, axenic strains of Symbiodinium. These strains were assigned to clades A (two strains), B, E, and F based on their chloroplast 23S rDNA sequences. Growth studies in liquid cultures showed that the clade B strain and one of the clade A strains were able to grow photoautotrophically (in light with no fixed carbon ...

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.

Symbiont diversity is not involved in depth acclimation in the Mediterranean sea whip Eunicella singularis [PDF]
, 2011 In symbiotic cnidarians, acclimation to depth and lower irradiance can involve physiological changes in the photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbiont, such as increased chlorophyll content, or qualitative modifications in the symbiont population in ...

Host-specific interactions with environmental factors shape the distribution of symbiodinium across the Great Barrier Reef. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (genus Symbiodinium) within coral reef invertebrates are critical to the survival of the holobiont. The genetic variability of Symbiodinium may contribute to the tolerance of the symbiotic association to elevated sea ...

Climate change promotes parasitism in a coral symbiosis. [PDF]
, 2018 Coastal oceans are increasingly eutrophic, warm and acidic through the addition of anthropogenic nitrogen and carbon, respectively. Among the most sensitive taxa to these changes are scleractinian corals, which engineer the most biodiverse ecosystems on ...

Sea anemones may thrive in a high CO2 world [PDF]
, 2012 Increased seawater pCO 2, and in turn 'ocean acidification' (OA), is predicted to profoundly impact marine ecosystem diversity and function this century.
