• Development of a free radical scavenging probiotic to mitigate coral bleaching 

  Dungan, A; Bulach, D; Lin, H; van Oppen, M; Blackall, L (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2020-07-03)

  ABSTRACT Corals are colonized by symbiotic microorganisms that exert a profound influence on the animal’s health. One noted symbiont is a single-celled alga (from the family Symbiodiniaceae ), which provides the coral with ...

• Rapid thermal adaptation in photosymbionts of reef-building corals 

  Chakravarti, LJ; Beltran, VH; van Oppen, MJH (WILEY, 2017-11-01)

  Climate warming is occurring at a rate not experienced by life on Earth for 10 s of millions of years, and it is unknown whether the coral-dinoflagellate (Symbiodinium spp.) symbiosis can evolve fast enough to ensure coral ...

• Thermal and Herbicide Tolerances of Chromerid Algae and Their Ability to Form a Symbiosis With Corals 

  Chakravarti, LJ; Negri, AP; van Oppen, MJH (FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019-02-12)

  Reef-building corals form an obligate symbiosis with photosynthetic microalgae in the family Symbiodiniaceae that meet most of their energy requirements. This symbiosis is under threat from the unprecedented rate of ocean ...
