Coral Bleaching: Photosynthetic Impacts on Symbiotic Dinoflagellates
xxxviiiABSTRACT Global climate change is leading to the rise of ocean temperatures and is triggering masscoral bleaching events on reefs around the world. This involves the expulsion of thesymbiotic dinoflagellate algae, known as zooxanthellae, from the coral host. Coralbleaching is believed to occur as a result of damage to the photosynthetic apparatus ofthese symbionts...
متن کاملMolecular genetic identification of symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae)
Zooxanthellae are phototrophic dinoflagellates that occur as endosymbionts in many marine invertebrates. Because traditional biological methods have not provided useful schemes for zooxanthella identification and classification, the natural history of zooxanthella symbioses is poorly known. We have apphed molecular genehc methods to zooxanthella taxonomy. Small ribosomal subunit RNA (ssRNA) gen...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of prodigiosin, a secondary metabolite of Serratia marcescens.
Prodigiosenes (prodigiosin and prodigiosin-like pigments) are known to be synthesized by only one genus of Eubacteriales and by two genera of Actinomycetales. Biosynthesis by Serratia marcescens occurs over a relatively narrow range of temperatures, although the bacteria grow over a broad range. When cultures of S. marcescens were incubated at 27 C in 1.0% casein hydrolysate, viable count and p...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of symbiotic dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium.
Coral reef ecosystems, one of the most biodiverse habitats in the world, owe their success to obligate mutualistic symbioses involving invertebrates and photosynthetic dinoflagellate symbionts (Hallock 2001). These single-celled algae, commonly referred to as zooxanthellae and predominantly belonging to the genus Symbiodinium (Fig. 1), establish relationships with numerous hosts, including repr...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of symbiotic dinoflagellates from planktonic foraminifera and radiolaria.
Recent analyses of the small subunit ribosomal DNA (srDNA) from dinoflagellate symbionts of cnidaria have confirmed historical descriptions of a diverse but well-defined clade, Symbiodinium, as well as several other independent symbiont lineages (Rowan 1991; Rowan and Powers 1992; Sadler et al. 1992; McNally et al 1994). Dinoflagellates also occur as intracellular symbionts in a number of pelag...
