This study measures extracellular electron transfer in Symbiodinium microadriaticum to assess bioenergetic fluctuations and environmental stress impacts on coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis.

The paper demonstrates stable genetic transformation of dinoflagellate chloroplasts using a plasmid-like fragmented chloroplast genome, showing long-term expression and maintenance of introduced genes.

This study identifies and characterizes PPR1, an essential apicoplast-targeted PPR protein in Plasmodium that binds specific RNA sequences and protects transcripts from degradation.
