What is the role of zooxanthellae during coral bleaching? Review of zooxanthellae and their response to environmental stress

open access: diamondSouth African Journal of Science, 2021
Coral reefs are diverse and productive but sensitive ecosystems. Due to the impact of climate change, these organisms are in danger of dying out, mainly through the process of coral bleaching, which is the process by which zooxanthellae (algal ...

Full-Length Transcriptomics Reveal the Gene Expression Profiles of Reef-Building Coral Pocillopora damicornis and Symbiont Zooxanthellae [PDF]

open access: goldDiversity, 2021
Since the last century, episodes of coral reef bleaching and mortality have occurred almost annually in tropical or subtropical seas. When the temperature exceeds the tolerant limit of a coral–zooxanthellae holobiont, it induces physiological stress and ...

Study on expelled but viable zooxanthellae from giant clams, with an emphasis on their potential as subsequent symbiont sources.

open access: goldPLoS ONE, 2019
Unlike most bivalve shellfishes, giant clams (tridacnines) harbor symbiotic microalgae (zooxanthellae) in their fleshy bodies. Zooxanthellae are not maternally inherited by tridacnine offspring, hence, the larvae must acquire zooxanthellae from external ...

Zooxanthellae Diversity and Coral-Symbiont Associations in the Philippine Archipelago: Specificity and Adaptability Across Thermal Gradients [PDF]

open access: goldFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Prolonged thermal stress and high levels of solar irradiance can disrupt the coral-algal symbiosis and cause bleaching and lowered overall fitness that lead to the likely death of the cnidarian host.

Full-Length Transcriptome Sequencing of the Scleractinian Coral Montipora foliosa Reveals the Gene Expression Profile of Coral–Zooxanthellae Holobiont

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Coral–zooxanthellae holobionts are one of the most productive ecosystems in the ocean. With global warming and ocean acidification, coral ecosystems are facing unprecedented challenges. To save the coral ecosystems, we need to understand the symbiosis of

The Effect of Plastic Waste Attachment on Branching Coral to Zooxanthellae Abundance in the Kelapa Dua Island Waters, Seribu Islands

open access: goldJurnal Ilmiah Perikanan dan Kelautan, 2021
Highlight • Light intensity from plastic waste was positively correlated with the abundance of zooxanthellae in corals. • The abundance of zooxanthellae between sack plastic and clear plastic treatment tended to be the same.
