Loss of symbiont infectivity following thermal stress can be a factor limiting recovery from bleaching in cnidarians

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Mariko Kishimoto from the National Institute for Basic Biology, Nishigonaka, Myodaiji, Okazaki, Japan have published the research: Loss of symbiont infectivity following thermal stress can be a factor limiting recovery from bleaching in cnidarians, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 21/08/2020
• what: The authors examine the effect of pre-exposure to heat stress on the capacity of symbiotic algae to infect cnidarian hosts using the Aiptasia (sea-anemone)-Symbiodiniaceae model system. The authors demonstrate that both free-living and residual symbiont cells lose their capacity to infect cnidarian host cells once they are . . .
