...Oscar Crehan; Simon K. Davy; Renaud Grover; Christine Ferrier-Pagès ABSTRACT Concentrations of dissolved nitrogen in seawater can affect the resilience of the cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis to climate change-induced bleaching. However, it is not yet known how the assimilation and translocation...

...Elizabeth A. Hambleton; Annika Guse; John R. Pringle Reef-building corals depend for much of their energy on photosynthesis by symbiotic dinoflagellate algae (genus Symbiodinium ) that live within their gastrodermal cells. However, the cellular mechanisms underpinning this ecologically critical...

...Morten Moldrup; Anders Garm SUMMARY The dinoflagellate Kryptoperidinium foliaceum possesses one of the largest eyespots among the autotrophic dinoflagellates. Until now they were believed to be negatively phototactic using a non-opsin photopigment. Here we provide evidence that in newly established...

...Melissa S. Roth; Michael I. Latz; Ralf Goericke; Dimitri D. Deheyn SUMMARY Reef-building corals inhabit high light environments and are dependent on photosynthetic endosymbiotic dinoflagellates for nutrition. While photoacclimation responses of the dinoflagellates to changes in illumination...

...Michael I. Latz; Michelle Bovard; Virginia VanDelinder; Enrico Segre; Jim Rohr; Alex Groisman SUMMARY Dinoflagellate bioluminescence serves as a model system for examining mechanosensing by suspended motile unicellular organisms. The response latency, i.e. the delay time between the mechanical...

... pallida , which hosts dinoflagellates from the genus Symbiodinium . We show that exposure to elevated temperatures induces symbiotic anemones to produce high levels of NO, leading to the collapse of the symbiosis. These results shed light on the poorly understood cellular mechanism through which elevated...

...Iku Miyasaka; Kenji Nanba; Ken Furuya; Yoshihachiro Nimura; Akira Azuma SUMMARY Equations describing the motion of the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum , which has both a longitudinal and a transverse flagellum, were formulated and examined using numerical calculations based on hydrodynamic...

...Michael I. Latz; Andrew R. Juhl; Abdel M. Ahmed; Said E. Elghobashi; Jim Rohr SUMMARY Dinoflagellate bioluminescence provides a near-instantaneous reporter of cell response to flow. Although both fluid shear stress and acceleration are thought to be stimulatory, previous studies have used flow...

...Peter von Dassow; Michael I. Latz SUMMARY Many marine dinoflagellates emit bright discrete flashes of light nearly instantaneously in response to either laminar or turbulent flows as well as to direct mechanical stimulation. The flash involves a unique pH-dependent luciferase and a proton-mediated...
