The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular
dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In …

From protists to humans, all animals and plants are inhabited by microbial organisms. There
is an increasing appreciation that these resident microbes influence the fitness of their plant …

Until recently there was little interest or information on viruses and viruslike particles of
eukaryotic algae. However, this situation is changing. In the past decade many large double …

Axenically cultured Symbiodinium (= Gymnodinium) microadriaticum Freudenthal, isolated
from 40 host individuals (or colonies) representing 17 species in two phyla were resolved …

A wide range of both intrinsic and environmental factors can influence the population
dynamics of algae in symbiosis with marine cnidarians. The present study shows that loss of …

The ingestion and fate of four types of particles by endodermal cells of the scyphistomae of
Cassiopeia xamachana were investigated by scanning and transmission electron …

Darkness evokes expulsion of zooxanthellae from the sea anemone Aiptasia pulchella, but
brief exposure to low temperature (4° C, 4 h) increases the expulsion rate four-fold. Ninety …

It has previously been proposed that sex is selected for in organisms living in antagonistic
biotic environments. Here, the contrasting case of mutualistic biotic environments is …

We have investigated whether interactions between cell-surface macro-molecules play a
role in cellular recognition leading to specificity in the establishment of intracellular …

Members of three classes of unicellular algae have exploited an intra-cellular habitat and
occur as endosymbionts in aquatic invertebrates, including Protozoa. Such associations …
