©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.These genetic data were used to justify the formal characterization of new species of ‘ecological generalists’ zooxanthellae, the dinoflagellate symbionts living in the tissues of numerous marine animals including corals. Reef-building corals are dependent on endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Family: Symbiodiniaceae) for their survival and growth but there is almost no taxonomy available for coral symbionts thus limiting research on them. These data include the sequences of genes originating from t...
