Metagenomics is a discipline that enables the genomic study of uncultured microorganisms.
Faster, cheaper sequencing technologies and the ability to sequence uncultured microbes …

We developed quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays to distinguish each of the four clades (A–D)
of dinoflagellate endosymbionts (genus Symbiodinium) commonly found in Caribbean …

Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae occupy multiple ecological niches on tropical,
subtropical, and temperate reefs, ranging from species that are exclusively free-living to …

Some reef-building corals have been shown to respond to environmental change by shifting
the composition of their algal symbiont (genus Symbiodinium) communities. These shifts …

Two real-time PCR assays targeting the small-subunit (SSU) ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were
designed to assess the proportional biomass of diatoms and dinoflagellates in marine …

A shift in the dominant Symbiodinium species within a coral colony may allow rapid
acclimatization to environmental stress, provided that the new symbiont is better suited to …

Understanding the flexibility of the endosymbioses between scleractinian corals and single‐
cell algae of the genus Symbiodinium will provide valuable insights into the future of coral …

The giant sea anemone Condylactis gigantea associates with members of two clades of the
dinoflagellate alga Symbiodinium, either singly or in mixed infection, as revealed by clade …

In studies of both the establishment and breakdown of cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis, it
is often necessary to determine the number of Symbiodinium cells relative to the quantity of …

Symbiodiniaceae community structure in corals is crucial for understanding the plasticity of
different holobionts under environmental stress. While this relies on molecular analyses …
