The study examines how thermal pre-treatment of algal symbionts affects coral development and symbiont colonization, finding species-specific impacts on host cell proliferation.

This study identifies symbiont-derived carotenoids and conserved genes as drivers of metamorphosis in Cassiopea xamachana, highlighting the role of microbial signals in developmental gene regulation.

This study investigates N-glycan biosynthesis in the dinoflagellate Breviolum minutum and shows that inhibiting Golgi processing reduces its colonization of the sea anemone Aiptasia.
