| differential protein profiles reflect the different lifestyles of symbiotic and aposymbiotic anthopleura elegantissima, a sea anemone from temperate waters | mutualistic associations are prevalent in virtually all environments yet relatively little is known about their complex biochemical and molecular integration and regulation. the endosymbiosis between cnidarians such as the sea anemone anthopleura elegantissima and the photosynthetic dinoflagellate symbiodinium californium, in which the algal symbionts are housed in vacuoles within animal endodermal cells, is an ideal model for the study of highly integrated associations at the biochemical and mo ... | 1996 | 9318671 |
| low thermal limit of growth rate of symbiodinium californium (dinophyta) in culture may restrict the symbiont to southern populations of its host anemones (anthopleura spp.; anthozoa, cnidaria)(1). | symbiodinium californium (#383, banaszak et al. 1993) is one of two known dinoflagellate symbionts of the intertidal sea anemones anthopleura elegantissima, a. xanthogrammica, and a. sola and occurs only in hosts at southern latitudes of the north pacific. to investigate if temperature restricts the latitudinal distribution of s. californium, growth and photosynthesis at a range of temperatures (5°c-30°c) were determined for cultured symbionts. mean specific growth rates were the highest between ... | 2009 | 27034215 |
