Respiratory electron transport system activity in symbiotic corals and its link to calcification

Aquatic Biology, 2013
Scleractinian corals host photosynthetic endosymbionts, making direct measurement of the host respiration rate via incubation methods based on O2 consumption impossible.

A Pilot Study on Zinc Isotopic Compositions in Shallow‐Water Coral Skeletons

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
The trace metal element zinc (Zn) participates in coral metabolic processes and therefore accumulates in their skeletons. These metabolic processes are largely controlled by the changes of environment in which they live, so Zn isotopic compositions ...

Expression of a symbiosis-specific gene in Symbiodinium type A1 associated with coral, nudibranch and giant clam larvae [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Symbiodinium are responsible for the majority of primary production in coral reefs and found in a mutualistic symbiosis with multiple animal phyla. However, little is known about the molecular signals involved in the establishment of this symbiosis and ...

Viral-Like Particles Are Associated With Endosymbiont Pathology in Florida Corals Affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first documented in 2014 near the Port of Miami, Florida, and has since spread north and south along Florida’s Coral Reef, killing large numbers of more than 20 species of coral and leading to the functional ...

Impacts of Light and Food Availability on Early Development of Cassiopea Medusae

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The Cassiopea genus is an emergent focus for behavioral, ecological, and genetic research. Cassiopea ephyrae, a key intermediate in the life cycle of this benthic jellyfish, have been left out of much work on the genus.

Even a slight temperature increase triggers the inhibition of Symbiodiniaceae cell division and promotes cell expulsion in the coral Acropora selago

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Coral bleaching, characterized by the loss of Symbiodiniaceae symbionts from corals, is promoted both by acute high‐temperature events and by prolonged moderate thermal stress. However, the mechanisms responsible for decreases in Symbiodiniaceae cell densities within corals remain unclear. Symbiodiniaceae cells within corals proliferate through

Acidification-induced cellular changes in Symbiodinium isolated from Mussismilia braziliensis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Dinoflagellates from the Symbiodiniaceae family and corals have an ecologically important endosymbiotic relationship. Scleractinian corals cannot survive for long periods without their symbionts.

From cells to reefs—fluorescent protein distribution reveals species‐specific photoadaptation in closely related Caribbean corals

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are diverse and widespread pigments in reef‐building corals, assumed to modulate the internal light microenvironment within coral tissues. Yet, their precise distribution and organization at the tissue and cellular levels remain poorly understood, limiting our understanding of their functional roles.

Illuminating Deep Reef Refugia: Horizontal and Vertical Genomic Connectivity of Seriatopora hystrix in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Shallow coral reefs are under threat from anthropogenic stress and climate change. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), found in deeper, cooler and less impacted waters, are proposed as potential refugia or larval sources for shallow reefs. However, this hypothesis of such deep‐reef refugia is now controversial because their effectiveness is ...

Sodium-Dependent Phosphate Transporter Protein 1 Is Involved in the Active Uptake of Inorganic Phosphate in Nephrocytes of the Kidney and the Translocation of Pi Into the Tubular Epithelial Cells in the Outer Mantle of the Giant Clam, Tridacna squamosa

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Giant clams display light-enhanced inorganic phosphate (Pi) absorption, but how the absorbed Pi is translocated to the symbiotic dinoflagellates living extracellularly in a tubular system is unknown.
