Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Frequent, high-density coral monitoring is essential to understand coral reef ecosystems. For this purpose, we developed a novel method for simultaneous monitoring of Acropora corals and their symbiont, Symbiodinium, from environmental DNA (eDNA) in ...

An improved primer set and amplification protocol with increased specificity and sensitivity targeting the Symbiodinium ITS2 region [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) rRNA gene is a commonly targeted genetic marker to assess diversity of Symbiodinium, a dinoflagellate genus of algal endosymbionts that is pervasively associated with marine invertebrates, and notably reef ...

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms of algicidal bacteria, highlighting critical behaviours like chemotaxis, quorum sensing and extracellular vesicle release. It details how these actions disrupt algal cellular integrity, photosynthesis and calcium homeostasis, providing a theoretical foundation for controlling harmful algal blooms ...

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 ...

An updated assessment of Symbiodinium spp. that associate with common scleractinian corals from Moorea (French Polynesia) reveals high diversity among background symbionts and a novel finding of clade B [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The adaptative bleaching hypothesis (ABH) states that, depending on the symbiotic flexibility of coral hosts (i.e., the ability of corals to “switch” or “shuffle” their algal symbionts), coral bleaching can lead to a change in the composition of their ...

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 360-376, April 2026.Abstract Rhodopsins are ancient and versatile light‐sensitive proteins, widely distributed across microbial life. In dinoflagellates, however, their diversity and function remain poorly understood, owing to the lineage's extreme genomic divergence. Here, we surveyed the rhodopsin complements of two dinoflagellates, Amphidinium carterae and Karlodinium ...

Variability of Symbiodinium Communities in Waters, Sediments, and Corals of Thermally Distinct Reef Pools in American Samoa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Reef-building corals host assemblages of symbiotic algae (Symbiodinium spp.) whose diversity and abundance may fluctuate under different conditions, potentially facilitating acclimatization to environmental change.
