Dynamic Regulation of Photoprotection Determines Thermal Tolerance of two Phylotypes of Symbiodinium Clade A at two Photon Fluence Rates.	Coral bleaching is the manifestation of the dysfunction of the symbiosis between scleractinian corals and dinoflagellates of the diverse genus Symbiodinium and is induced by elevated temperatures and high irradiance. We investigated the photophysiological response of two genetically distinct Symbiodinium subtypes within clade A upon exposure to elevated temperatures at two light intensities for three weeks. While both subtypes displayed a characteristic photoacclimation to high light (decrease i ...	2011	22117932
functional diversity in coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis.	symbioses are widespread in nature and occur along a continuum from parasitism to mutualism. coral-dinoflagellate symbioses are defined as mutualistic because both partners receive benefit from the association via the exchange of nutrients. this successful interaction underpins the growth and formation of coral reefs. the symbiotic dinoflagellate genus symbiodinium is genetically diverse containing eight divergent lineages (clades a-h). corals predominantly associate with clade c symbiodinium an ...	2008	18591663
