Molecular 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 کاملCoral 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 کاملBiotransformation in Carcinogen-induced Diploid and Polyploid Hepatocytes Separated by Centrifugal Elutriation1
Biotransformation in carcinogen-induced diploid and polyploid hepatocytes was studied using isozyme-selective substrates for several enzyme pathways. Diploid hepatocytes were induced by partial hepatectomy, a single injection of diethylnitrosamine, and 4 weeks of 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) feeding. Then, after an additional 3-5 weeks on the control diet, diploid and polyploid hepatocytes wer...
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...
