Onset and breakdown of cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis : a survey of the host transcriptomic response and characterization of the sphingosine rheostat during symbiont colonization and hyperthermal stress

Creator:

Kitchen, Sheila Ann

Abstract:

The symbiosis between cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones, and photosynthetic dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium spp. is one of the most productive in the marine environment. This mutualistic endosymbiosis allow reef-building corals to lay down the foundation of coral reef ecosystems, which supports a highly biodiverse community...
