Molecular investigation of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis and the identification of genes differentially expressed during bleaching in the coral Montipora capitata

Creator:

Hauck, Laura L.

Abstract:

Cnidarians, such as anemones and corals, engage in an intracellular symbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Corals form both the trophic and structural foundation of reef ecosystems. Despite their environmental importance, little is known about the molecular basis of this symbiosis. In this dissertation we explored the cnidariandinoflagellate symbiosis from two perspectives:...
