Figure S1 - Symbiodinium Photosynthesis in Caribbean Octocorals

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis gel of ITS2 DNA from Symbiodinium associated with Pseudoplexaura porosa, Pseudoplexaura wagenaari, and Pterogorgia anceps. Type B1 Symbiodinium was recovered from all colonies of P. wagenaari and P. anceps, but from only 3 of 9 P. porosa colonies. B1 Symbiodinium exhibited distinct DGGE profiles. ($) denotes a band that is faint in these samples, but is typically visible in B1 Symbiodinium from P. anceps. (*) denotes the band of the type B1i ITS2 sequence variant. (PDF)
