Red light represses the photophysiology of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Light spectrum plays a key role in the biology of symbiotic corals, with blue light resulting in higher coral growth, zooxanthellae density, chlorophyll a content and photosynthesis rates as compared to red light.

Fast growth may impair regeneration capacity in the branching coral Acropora muricata. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Regeneration of artificially induced lesions was monitored in nubbins of the branching coral Acropora muricata at two reef-flat sites representing contrasting environments at Réunion Island (21°07'S, 55°32'E). Growth of these injured nubbins was examined

Skeleton Precedes Polyp: Visualization of Structural Changes During Coral Growth in <i>Montipora capricornis</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing high‐resolution micro‐computed tomography, this study demonstrates that in Montipora capricornis, skeleton–canal network formation precedes polyp budding at colony margins, with a “transit area” (volumes ~1 mm3, skeleton‐to‐void ratio 20%–35%) in tubular canals serving as a pathway for polyp migration to new calices.

Light-Dependency of Growth and Secondary Metabolite Production in the Captive Zooxanthellate Soft Coral Sinularia flexibilis [PDF]
The branching zooxanthellate soft coral Sinularia flexibillis releases antimicrobial and toxic compounds with potential pharmaceutical importance. As photosynthesis by the symbiotic algae is vital to the host, the light-dependency of the coral, including

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Giant clams can grow to large sizes despite living in oligotrophic waters of the tropical Indo-Pacific as they maintain a mutualistic relationship with symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae) and receive photosynthate from them.

Effects of reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations on physiology and fluorescence of hermatypic corals and benthic algae. [PDF]
, 2014 While shifts from coral to seaweed dominance have become increasingly common on coral reefs and factors triggering these shifts successively identified, the primary mechanisms involved in coral-algae interactions remain unclear. Amongst various potential

PLoS 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 ...

Dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP) as an Indicator of Bleaching Tolerance in Scleractinian Corals
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015 Thermal tolerance tests on Acropora millepora, a common Indo-Pacific hard coral, have shown that adult corals can acquire increased thermal tolerance by shuffling existing type C to type D Symbiodinium zooxanthellae when subjected to increased seawater ...

Holobiont Evolution: Mathematical Model with Vertical vs. Horizontal Microbiome Transmission [PDF]
, 2020 A holobiont is a composite organism consisting of a host together with its microbiome, such as a coral with its zooxanthellae. To explain the often intimate integration between hosts and their microbiomes, some investigators contend that selection ...
