Dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium, including nine clades(A–I), mainly form mutualistic symbioses with corals. More than 100 Symbiodinium molecular types have been identified by the ITS2-based genotype method ...
The present study is dedicated to the memory of our mentor Professor Richard E.Pagano (1944 2010);supported by the National Science Council of Taiwan (Grant No.NSC 98-2311-B-291-001-MY3).
The stability of cnidarian-dinoflagellate endosymbioses is dependent upon communication between the host gastrodermal cell and the symbionts housed within it. Although the molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated,...
