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 ...

Are Zooxanthellae Really Sensitive? Response of Zooxanthellae Size Exposed to Several Pollutants

ILMU KELAUTAN: Indonesian Journal of Marine Sciences, 2017
Pollution is one of the important issues faced by marine resources including zooxanthellae, which is known to be very sensitive to environmental changes. Some pollutants have been reported to have adverse effects on zooxanthellae, however, their sensitivity in regards to changes on cell size of these algae has not been widely explored.

A Functional Genomics View of Gibberellin Metabolism in the Cnidarian Symbiont Breviolum minutum

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Dinoflagellate inhabitants of the reef-building corals exchange nutrients and signals with host cells, which often benefit the growth of both partners. Phytohormones serve as central hubs for signal integration between symbiotic microbes and their hosts,

Benthic Cyanobacterial Diversity and Antagonistic Interactions in Abrolhos Bank: Allelopathy, Susceptibility to Herbivory, and Toxicity

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Benthic cyanobacterial mats (BCMs) are conspicuous components of coral reef communities, where they play key ecological roles as primary producers among others.

Partial quantification of pigments extracted from the zooxanthellate octocoral Sinularia flexibilis at varying irradiances [PDF]

, 2010
Chlorophyll-a (chl-a) and carotenoid pigments of the zooxanthellate octocoral Sinularia flexibilis were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography following exposure to three light intensities for over 30 days. From the coral fragments located

The abundance of zooxanthellae on massive and branching coral reefs at Bama Beach, Baluran National Park, Situbondo, East Java

Depik Jurnal
Zooxanthellae are single-celled microalgae that live symbiotically in coral tissue. The porpose of this study was to determine the abundance of zooxanthellae in massive and branching corals. The research method used was descriptive analysis. The sampling

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 ...

Response of the zooxanthellae of Palythoa caribaeorum (Cnidaria: Zoanthidea) to different environmental conditions in coastal and oceanic ecosystems of the Tropical Atlantic

Helgoland Marine Research, 2016
The present study tested the hypothesis that endosymbionts of the zoanthid Palythoa caribaeorum show specific responses in cell density, size, and mitotic index (as proxy for cell population growth) under different environmental conditions (water depth ...
