Alternative Photosynthetic Electron Transfers and Bleaching Phenotypes Upon Acute Heat Stress in Symbiodinium and Breviolum spp. (Symbiodiniaceae) in Culture

The breakdown of the symbiosis between cnidarians and Symbiodiniaceae often occurs upon periods of elevated sea surface temperature and gives rise to bleaching events that affect coral reefs worldwide. In this respect, an impairment of photosynthesis would be responsible for light-dependent generati...
