Marangon E, Radecker N, Li J, Terzin M, Buerger P, Webster N, et al.
Microbiome
. 2025 Jan;
13(1):31.
PMID: 39891167
Background: The stability of the symbiotic relationship between coral and their dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodiniaceae) is disrupted by ocean warming. Although the coral thermal response depends on the complex interactions between...

New Phytol
. 2024 Jul;
243(6):2130-2145.
PMID: 39049585
Coral thermal bleaching resilience can be improved by enhancing photosymbiont thermal tolerance via experimental evolution. While successful for some strains, selection under stable temperatures was ineffective at increasing the thermal...

Nitschke M, Abrego D, Allen C, Alvarez-Roa C, Boulotte N, Buerger P, et al.
Trends Microbiol
. 2024 Jun;
32(12):1241-1252.
PMID: 38942718
The heat tolerance of corals is largely determined by their microbial photosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae, colloquially known as zooxanthellae). Therefore, manipulating symbiont communities may enhance the ability of corals to survive summer...

. 2023 Nov;
2(1):30.
PMID: 37938648
The sea anemone, Exaiptasia diaphana, is a model of coral-dinoflagellate (Symbiodiniaceae) symbiosis. However, little is known of its potential to form symbiosis with Cladocopium-a key Indo-Pacific algal symbiont of scleractinian...

Evol Appl
. 2023 Sep;
16(9):1549-1567.
PMID: 37752965
Despite the relevance of heat-evolved microalgal endosymbionts to coral reef restoration, to date, few Symbiodiniaceae strains have been thermally enhanced via experimental evolution. Here, we investigated whether the thermal tolerance...

Int J Mol Sci
. 2022 May;
23(9).
PMID: 35563303
Heat-tolerant strains of the coral endosymbiont, C1 (Symbiodiniaceae), have previously been developed via experimental evolution. Here, we examine physiological responses and bacterial community composition (using 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding) in...

PMID: 35259253
The climate crisis is one of the most significant threats to marine ecosystems. It is leading to severe increases in sea surface temperatures and in the frequency and magnitude of...

. 2022 Feb;
16(6):1676-1679.
PMID: 35132118
Early life stages of most coral species acquire microalgal endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) from the environment, but whether exogenous symbiont uptake is possible in the adult life stage is unclear. Deep sequencing...

. 2021 Feb;
27(9):1737-1754.
PMID: 33547698
Marine microalgae are a diverse group of microscopic eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms capable of photosynthesis. They are important primary producers and carbon sinks but their physiology and persistence are severely...

Gene regulation underpinning increased thermal tolerance in a laboratory-evolved coral photosymbiont
Chakravarti L, Buerger P, Levin R, van Oppen M
Mol Ecol
. 2020 Apr;
29(9):1684-1703.
PMID: 32268445
Small increases in ocean temperature can disrupt the obligate symbiosis between corals and dinoflagellate microalgae, resulting in coral bleaching. Little is known about the genes that drive the physiological and...
