This research focuses on understanding the symbiotic relationship between sea anemones and algae, particularly how environmental changes affect this interaction. By using Aiptasia as a model organism, it aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms of symbiosis establishment.
Coral reefs are the world's most diverse marine ecosystems and their existence depends upon a functional intracellular symbiosis between dinoflagellates (single-celled algae) and their coral host.
Stresses, such as elevated seawater temperature, cause the obligate symbiosis to break down, a phenomenon known as coral “bleaching”.
Incidences of coral bleaching worldwide are on the rise, linked to global climate change.
Most corals (phylum Cnidaria) first initiate symbiosis with dinoflagellates (ge…
