Temperature Effects on the Growth Rates and Photosynthetic Activities of Symbiodinium Cells

Temperature Effects on the Growth Rates and Photosynthetic Activities of Symbiodinium Cells

Coral bleaching is caused by environmental stress and susceptibility to bleaching stress varies among types of coral. The physiological properties of the algal symbionts (Symbiodinium spp.), especially extent of damage to PSII and its repair capacity, contribute importantly to this variability in st...
