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,

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.

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 ...

Assessing Transcriptional Responses to Light by the Dinoflagellate Symbiodinium [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2019 The control of transcription is poorly understood in dinoflagellates, a group of protists whose permanently condensed chromosomes are formed without histones. Furthermore, while transcriptomes contain a number of proteins annotated as transcription factors, the majority of these are cold shock domain proteins which are also known to bind RNA, meaning ...

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 ...

Protein evolution in two co-occurring types of Symbiodinium: an exploration into the genetic basis of thermal tolerance in Symbiodinium clade D [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 The symbiosis between reef-building corals and photosynthetic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium) is an integral part of the coral reef ecosystem, as corals are dependent on Symbiodinium for the majority of their energy needs. However, this partnership is increasingly at risk due to changing climatic conditions.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
