Symbiodinium—Invertebrate Symbioses and the Role of Metabolomics

open access: yesMarine 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

Using Transcript Levels of Nitrate Transporter 2 as Molecular Indicators to Estimate the Potentials of Nitrate Transport in Symbiodinium, Cladocopium, and Durusdinium of the Fluted Giant Clam, Tridacna squamosa

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Giant clams are important ecosystem engineers of coral reefs because they harbor large quantities of phototrophic Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates of mainly genera Symbiodinium, Cladocopium, and Durusdinium.

Fluorescent protein-mediated colour polymorphism in reef corals: multicopy genes extend the adaptation/acclimatization potential to variable light environments

open access: yes, 2015
The genomic framework that enables corals to adjust to unfavourable conditions is crucial for coral reef survival in a rapidly changing climate. We have explored the striking intraspecific variability in the expression of coral pigments from the green ...

Mitochondrial electron transport activity and metabolism of experimentally bleached hermatypic corals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Bleached corals (Porites cylindrica and Galaxea fascicularis) were obtained through extended incubation (over 45 days) under light depletion and privation: low light and dark conditions, and heat stress (32 °C).

The Distribution, Diversity, and Indicator Species of Coral Communities Under the Influence of Environmental Changes in the Subtropical Peninsula of Southern China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
The dominant coral species in Dapeng Peninsula changed from branching types to clumping types. Fishing and tourism had significant negative impacts on coral reef development. Water quality and substrate types determined the distribution and structure of coral communities.

Arctic coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Recent expeditions to the cold, northern waters of the Arctic have revealed giant deep-sea coral reefs. In this article, Tina Kerby and Jason Hall-Spencer describe the latest findings from a project to study these surprising ...

A hypothesis linking sub-optimal seawater pCO2 conditions for cnidarian-Symbiodinium symbioses with the exceedence of the interglacial threshold (>260 ppmv) [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2012
Most scleractinian corals and many other cnidarians host intracellular photosynthetic dinoflagellate symbionts ("zooxanthellae"). The zooxanthellae contribute to host metabolism and skeletogenesis to such an extent that this symbiosis is well recognised ...

Heterotrophic feeding by gorgonian corals with symbiotic zooxanthella [PDF]

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, 1998
Gorgonians are one of the most characteristic groups in Caribbean coral reef communities. In this study, we measured in situ rates of grazing on pico‐, nano‐, and microplankton, zooxanthellae release, and respiration for the ubiquitous symbiotic gorgonian coral Plexaura flexuosa. Zooplankton capture by P.

A Snapshot of a Coral “Holobiont”: A Transcriptome Assembly of the Scleractinian Coral, Porites, Captures a Wide Variety of Genes from Both the Host and Symbiotic Zooxanthellae

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Massive scleractinian corals of the genus Porites are important reef builders in the Indo-Pacific, and they are more resistant to thermal stress than other stony corals, such as the genus Acropora.

Engineering Strategies to Decode and Enhance the Genomes of Coral Symbionts

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Elevated sea surface temperatures from a severe and prolonged El Niño event (2014–2016) fueled by climate change have resulted in mass coral bleaching (loss of dinoflagellate photosymbionts, Symbiodinium spp., from coral tissues) and subsequent coral ...
