Induction of Glycerol Synthesis and Release in Cultured Symbiodinium
PLoS ONE, 2012 Symbiotic dinoflagellates transfer a substantial amount of their photosynthetic products to their animal hosts. This amount has been estimated to represent up to 90% of the photosynthetically fixed carbon and can satisfy in some instances the full respiratory requirements of the host.

Revealing the Physiological Patterns of Dinoflagellates in North‐Eastern Adriatic Phytoplankton
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Using metatranscriptomics, we have described the annual taxonomic and functional succession of the phytoplankton community in the north‐eastern Adriatic Sea, taking into account the effects of environmental factors on succession. The results obtained in this way represent the first comprehensive physiological characterisation of the phytoplankton ...

Experimental Evolution in Coral Photosymbionts as a Tool to Increase Thermal Tolerance
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Coral reefs are under major threat from ocean warming. When temperatures become too high corals bleach, expelling their symbiotic, photosynthetic microalgae (Symbiodinium), which they depend on for much of their nutritional requirements.

Acute Heat Priming Dampens Gene Expression Response to Thermal Stress in a Widespread Acropora Coral
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.(a) Experimental design. Corals from 10 genotypes were distributed across two experimental blocks, each containing nine flow‐through tanks. Fragments from five genotypes were placed in each tank. (b) Temperature profiles and sampling time points in the heat stress assay, demonstrating ramp up from control conditions (27ºC, MMM) to the preconditioning ...

Algal Symbionts Indicate Heatwave Vulnerability in Corals From Hotspots but Not From Thermal Refugia
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, January 2026.ABSTRACT Reef‐building corals face continued declines due to climate change‐amplified marine heatwaves. In addition to affecting coral heat tolerance, corals' algal endosymbionts (family Symbiodiniaceae) can reflect their prior heatwave exposure, although understanding is often limited to heatwave‐induced shifts between symbiont genera.

Diversity, 2011 Symbioses between microbes and higher organisms underpin high diversity in many ecosystems, including coral reefs, however mechanisms underlying the early establishment of symbioses remain unclear.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.In mutualistic symbioses, partner flexibility often broadens the host ecological niche. We found a stable association between littoral lichens and their algal symbionts along a natural salinity gradient, suggesting that the broad ecological niche can be facilitated by association with a single generalist symbiont.

The Chloroplast Genome of a Symbiodinium sp. Clade C3 Isolate
Protist, 2014 Dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium form important symbioses within corals and other benthic marine animals. Dinoflagellates possess an extremely reduced plastid genome relative to those examined in plants and other algae. In dinoflagellates the plastid genes are located on small plasmids, commonly referred to as 'minicircles'.

Defining the core microbiome of the symbiotic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2017 Summary Dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium underpin the survival and ecological success of corals. The use of cultured strains has been particularly important to disentangle the complex life history of Symbiodinium and their ...
