Example sentencesExamples
- The zooxanthellae in these corals are dinoflagellates, and it is suspected that there may be a relationship between their diversifications.
- It is not known whether rugose corals had symbiotic photosymbiotic zooxanthellae as modern corals do.
- Both coral and sponge were sparse, and the former largely without color - giving symbiotic zooxanthellae.
- These zooxanthellae may be found in many marine invertebrates, including sponges, corals, jellyfish, and flatworms, as well as within protists, such as ciliates, foraminiferans, and colonial radiolarians.
- The plants are tiny single-celled algae, the zooxanthellae or symbiotic dinoflagellates, that live within the tissues of corals in great numbers.

adjective

Biology

In any case, most if not all Triassic scleractinians, whether zooxanthellate or not, show skeletal construction different from modern (strictly post-Cretaceous) equivalents.
Example sentencesExamples
- A total of 41 species of zooxanthellate corals were recovered from the unit, including 21 new records.
- Based on corallite configuration, growth form and analogy with Acropora, Blastozopsammia had a relatively high degree of colony integration and may have been zooxanthellate.
- The specific identity of endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium spp.) from most zooxanthellate corals is unknown.
- New collections from the Tamana Formation in Trinidad contain 41 species of zooxanthellate corals.

Origin

Late 19th century: modern Latin, from zoo- 'of animals' + Greek xanthos 'yellow' + the diminutive suffix -ella.
