Molecular mechanisms of acclimation to long‐term elevated temperature exposure in marine symbioses

Abstract: Seawater temperature rise in French Polynesia has repeatedly resulted in the bleaching of corals and giant clams. Because giant clams possess distinctive ectosymbiotic features, they represent a unique and powerful model for comparing molecular pathways involved in (a) maintenance of symbiosis and (b) acquisition of thermotolerance among coral reef organisms. Herein, we explored the physiological and transcriptomic responses of the clam hosts and their photosynthetically active symbionts over a 65 day experime… Show more

“…3d,5,6a,b,d,and Supporting Information Fig. S4a,b), which could have reflected epigenetic adaptation (Duncan et al 2014;Alves Monteiro et al 2020). Symbionts with such heat resistant traits or that are capable of rapidly remodel their phenotype in response to stressful conditions are more likely to thrive in future warmer oceans (Bindoff 2019).…”
