Cell biology of cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis
The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular dinoflagellate
algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In particular, …

Lectin/glycan interactions play a role in recognition in a coral/dinoflagellate symbiosis
…, LL Hollingsworth, DA Krupp, VM Weis - Cellular …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Recognition is an important stage in the establishment of highly specific mutualistic associations.
Yet, for the majority of symbioses, very few of the mechanisms involved in recognition …

Host-symbiont specificity during onset of symbiosis between the dinoflagellates Symbiodinium spp. and planula larvae of the scleractinian coral Fungia scutaria
VM Weis, WS Reynolds, MD DeBoer, DA Krupp - Coral reefs, 2001 - Springer
Many corals which engage in symbioses with dinoflagellates from the genus Symbiodinium (zooxanthellae)
produce offspring which initially lack zooxanthellae. These species must …

Nitric oxide and cnidarian bleaching: an eviction notice mediates breakdown of a symbiosis
S Perez, V Weis - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 - journals.biologists.com
Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical implicated in numerous cell signaling,physiological and
