Presence of algal symbionts affects denitrifying bacterial communities in the sea anemone Aiptasia coral model
The coral-algal symbiosis is maintained by a constant and limited nitrogen availability in the holobiont. Denitrifiers, i.e., prokaryotes reducing...

The role of background algal symbionts as drivers of shuffling to thermotolerant Symbiodiniaceae following bleaching in three Caribbean coral species
Reef-building corals host diverse dinoflagellate algal symbionts (Family Symbiodiniaceae) whose identity can influence host thermotolerance and whose...

Genes possibly related to symbiosis in early life stages of Acropora tenuis inoculated with Symbiodinium microadriaticum
Due to the ecological importance of mutualism between reef-building corals and symbiotic algae (Family Symbiodiniaceae), various transcriptomic...

Lipid stores reveal the state of the coral-algae symbiosis at the single-cell level
Coral reefs worldwide are threatened by environmental stress. The observable decline in coral cover, is principally due to the intensifying breakdown...

The reef-building coral Galaxea fascicularis: a new model system for coral symbiosis research
Reef-building corals owe their evolutionary success to their symbiosis with unicellular algae (Symbiodiniaceae). However, increasingly frequent heat...

The Bacterial Microbiome of the Coral Skeleton Algal Symbiont Ostreobium Shows Preferential Associations and Signatures of Phylosymbiosis
Ostreobium , the major algal symbiont of the coral skeleton, remains understudied despite extensive research on the coral holobiont. The enclosed...

Nutritional control regulates symbiont proliferation and life history in coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis
BackgroundThe coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis is fundamental for the coral reef ecosystem. Corals provide various inorganic nutrients to their algal...
-
Juvenile octocorals acquire similar algal symbiont assemblages across depths
Establishment of the coral–algal symbiosis begins during early ontogeny when juveniles acquire a mix of algae from their environment that often...

Variation in susceptibility among three Caribbean coral species and their algal symbionts indicates the threatened staghorn coral, Acropora cervicornis, is particularly susceptible to elevated nutrients and heat stress
Coral cover is declining worldwide due to multiple interacting threats. We compared the effects of elevated nutrients and temperature on three...
-
High temporal resolution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dynamics during heat stress does not support a causative role in coral bleaching
Human-induced climate change is causing ocean warming that triggers the breakdown of the coral–algal symbiosis. The proximate cause of this...

Integrating cryptic diversity into coral evolution, symbiosis and conservation
Understanding how diversity evolves and is maintained is critical to predicting the future trajectories of ecosystems under climate change; however,...

Assessing Molecular Localization of Symbiont Microalgae in Coral Branches Through Mass Spectrometry Imaging
Reef-building corals are a fundamental pillar of coral reef ecosystems in tropical and subtropical shallow environments. Corals harbor symbiotic...

Heat stress reduces the contribution of diazotrophs to coral holobiont nitrogen cycling
Efficient nutrient cycling in the coral-algal symbiosis requires constant but limited nitrogen availability. Coral-associated diazotrophs, i.e.,...

Symbiosis and the Anthropocene
Recent human activity has profoundly transformed Earth biomes on a scale and at rates that are unprecedented. Given the central role of symbioses in...
-
Coral Conservation from the Genomic Perspective on Symbiodiniaceae Diversity and Function in the Holobiont
Coral reefs are critically supported by symbiosis with dinoflagellate algae in the family Symbiodiniaceae. The tightly linked coral-Symbiodiniaceae...

World symbiosis day webinar – when living together is a win-win
The following information is intended for those who were unable to attend the first webinar of the International Symbiosis Society (ISS) on - ‘When...

Cell surface carbohydrates of symbiotic dinoflagellates and their role in the establishment of cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis
Symbiodiniaceae algae are often photosymbionts of reef-building corals. The establishment of their symbiosis resembles a microbial infection where...

Marine Ecosystems
The oceans have helped to frame much of the history of our planet, sha** and transforming the surface of the Earth, influencing global climate...

Low light intensity increased survival of coral spat in aquaculture
Coral reef ecosystems are declining and may not recover under future climate scenarios without intervention. Seeding reefs with corals bred in...

Colonization and metabolite profiles of homologous, heterologous and experimentally evolved algal symbionts in the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana
The sea anemone, Exaiptasia diaphana , is a model of coral-dinoflagellate (Symbiodiniaceae) symbiosis. However, little is known of its potential to...
