... profiling was conducted on the tropical corallimorpharian, Ricordea yuma, following the establishment of symbiosis with either the ‘homologous’ symbiont Symbiodinium goreaui (also known as Cladocopium goreaui ; ITS2 type C1) or ‘heterologous’ symbionts (predominantly S. trenchii , which is also known...

...Hagen M. Gegner; Maren Ziegler; Nils Rädecker; Carol Buitrago-López; Manuel Aranda; Christian R. Voolstra ABSTRACT The endosymbiosis between dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium and stony corals provides the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. Coral bleaching, the expulsion...

... in the marine symbiotic organism, Tridacna maxima , during a time series of induced thermal stress, with an emphasis on the morphology of their symbiont Symbiodinium . First, we show that the French Polynesian giant clams harbour an important proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFA), which reflects...

... of Symbiodinium cells in juveniles of the reef-building coral Acropora tenuis . In this study, we performed autoradiography using 35 S-labeled sulfate ions ( 35 SO 4 2− ) to examine the localization and amount of incorporated radioactive sulfate in the coral tissues and symbiotic algae. Incorporated 35 SO 4 2...
