Transcriptomic characterization of the enzymatic antioxidants FeSOD, MnSOD, APX and KatG in the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium

Background The diversity of the symbiotic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium sp., as assessed by genetic markers, is well established. To what extent this diversity is reflected on the amino acid level of functional genes such as enzymatic antioxidants that play ...

A nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry study of dinoflagellate functional diversity in reef-building corals

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

Nutritional interactions between corals and symbiotic dinoflagellate algae lie at the heart of the structural foundation of coral reefs. Whilst the genetic diversity of Symbiodinium has attracted particular interest because of its contribution to the sensi ...

NanoSIMS isotopic imaging - Deciphering the nature of coral-symbiont metabolic interactions

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Christophe Kopp, Thomas Krüger, Maoz Fine

The ability of endosymbiotic Symbiodinium to fix inorganic nutrients and their translocation to the coral host is considered a key element for the growth of coral reefs in tropical coastal waters and has been a fundamental research topic for over 50 years. ...

Symbiont diversity and coral bleaching: An antioxidant view on thermal stress

Thomas Krüger

The functioning of coral reef systems, as biodiversity hotspots, is largely dependent on the symbiotic association between dinoflagellate symbionts (Symbiodinium spp.) and scleractinian coral hosts. The breakdown of this symbiosis (coral bleaching), as a r ...

Cultivating endosymbionts—Host environmental mimics support the survival of Symbiodinium C15 ex hospite

Thomas Krüger

Sustaining in vitro cultures of endosymbiotic dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium is important, addressing questions relating to Symbiodinium function and Symbiodinium dependent host fitness. Difficulties in establishing representative Symbiodinium c ...

A single-cell view of ammonium assimilation in coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Christophe Kopp

Assimilation of inorganic nitrogen from nutrient-poor tropical seas is an essential challenge for the endosymbiosis between reef-building corals and dinoflagellates. Despite the clear evidence that reef-building corals can use ammonium as inorganic nitroge ...
