Productivity of Zooxanthellae

  • Chapter
Primary Productivity in the Sea

Part of the book series: Environmental Science Research ((ESRH,volume 19))

Abstract

Zooxanthellae are photosynthetic unicellular marine algae endosymbiotic with marine invertebrates. The term is a vernacular derivation of the original genus Zooxantheila, coined by Brandt (1) to describe the dinoflagellate symbionts of the radiolarian Collozoum inerme Haeckel, but now used to describe almost any yellow-brown unicellular algal symbiont. Analysis of zooxanthellae taxonomy and the evidence for genetic diversity of zooxanthellae is reviewed elsewhere (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
